A ball is thrown from the top row of seats in a stadium. The function h(t)=-16t2+48t+160 gives the height, t, in feet, of the ball t seconds after it is thrown. How long will it be before the ball hits the ground?

t = 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that gives the height in feet of the ball t seconds after it is thrown is :

We need to find how long will it be before the ball hits the ground. When it hits the ground, its height will be equal to 0.

So,

We need to solve this equation. When we solve, we get its solution as shown in the figure. We can see that t = -2 s and t = 5 s.

t = -2 s is not possible.

Hence, the ball will hit the ground before 5 seconds.

robert puts 2 in each row

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
