Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
h = -5t^2 - 6t + 44
I'll assume 0 meters is the ground height. That would mean we want to know the time, t, for h to be = 0 meters:
h = -5t^2 - 6t + 44
0 = -5t^2 - 6t + 44
5t^2 + 6t -44 = 0
Solve using the quadratic equation: 2.43 and - 3.63 seconds. We'll use the positive value: 2.43 seconds for the ball to reach the ground. Save the -3.63 value for the Klingons.
We can also solve by graphing the function, as per the attached image. Note that the starting time of 0 seconds, the ball is at 44 feet. It reaches the x axis at 2.43 seconds (where x = 0, the ground).
