Problema Solution

assume you are throwing a baseball up from the top of a building. The equation for the height of the ball, h, at time, t, is represented by the equation: h=-16t^2+64t+512 After how many seconds does the ball reach 560 ft?

Answer provided by our tutors

h(t)=-16t^2+64t+512


we need to find t such that h(t) = 560 ft


-16t^2+64t+512 = 560


by solving we find


t1 = 1 s


t2 = 3 s
