A ball is thrown from an initial height of 2 feet with an initial upward velocity of 29 ft/s. The balls height (h) [in feet] aft

nirvana33 [79]

The ball is at a height of 14 feet after 1.17 and 0.64 seconds.

This is an example of a quadratic equation. Write out the equation with 14 in the place of the height. Then, set it equal to zero.

14 = 2 + 29t - 16t^2

0 = -16t^2 + 29t -12

Now, we can use the quadratic equation to solve.
A = -16
B = 29
C = -12

You will get the solutions of 1.17 and 0.64.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+7=43x

x²-43x+7=0

$x=\frac{43 \pm \sqrt{(43)^2-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)} \\=\frac{43 \pm \sqrt{1849-28} }{2} \\=\frac{43 \pm \sqrt{1821} }{2} \\\approx \frac{43 \pm 42.673}{2}\\\approx 0.1635,42.8365$
