Problema Solution

. The ball's height

h

(in feet) after

t

seconds is given by the following.

=h+2−18t16t2

Find all values of

t

for which the ball's height is

6

Answer provided by our tutors

Assuming h = 2 + 18t - 16t^2 we need to solve the quadratic equation:

2 + 18t - 16t^2 = 6

........

t1 = 0.30 s

t2 = 0.82 s

The values for t for which the ball is 6 feet are: 0.30 s and 0.82 s.
