Question 528832
Use the function V(T) = 18T^2. 
A basketball player has a vertical leap of 38.5 inches.
What is their hang time to the nearest hundredth of a second?
:
V(t) given as 38.5
therefore
18T^2 = 38.5
divide both sides by 18
T^2 = {{{38.5/18}}}
T^2 = 2.1389
find the square root of both sides:
T = {{{sqrt(2.1389)}}}
T = 1.46 seconds hang time
