The height h in meters of a ball t seconds after being tossed upward is given by the formula h-84t-16t2. after how many seconds will the ball reach a height of 80 meters for the second time?
Answer provided by our tutors
h = 84t - 16t^2
We need to find t such that h = 80 m that is, we need to solve the equation:
84t - 16t^2 = 80

........
t1 = 4 s
t2 = 1.25 s
The ball will reach height of 80 meters for the second time after 4 seconds.
