Answer:

2.64 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the ball will hit the ground, you just need to use the equation of h with the value h = 0 (the ball is in the ground), and then find the value of t:

h = 151 − 15t - 16t^2

0 = 151 − 15t - 16t^2

To solve this quadratic equation, you can use Bhaskara formula:

Delta = b2 - 4ac = (-15)^2 - 4*(-16)*151 = 9889

sqrt(Delta) = 99.4435

t1 = [-b + sqrt(Delta)] / 2a = (15 + 99.4435) / (-32) = -3.5764 seconds (not useful result, because there is not a negative time)

t2 = [-b - sqrt(Delta)] / 2a = (15 - 99.4435) / (-32) = 2.6389 seconds

Rounding to the nearest hundredth: t = 2.64 seconds

If you use this equation then you say that the ground is h=0 and solve as a quadratic.
The quadratic formula is (-b±<span>√(b^2-4ac))/2a when an equation is in the form ax^2 + bx + c
So the equation you have been given would be -16t^2-15t-151 = 0
This equation has no real roots which leads me to believe it is incorrect.
This is probably where your difficulty is coming from, it's a mistake.

The equation is formed from S=ut+(1/2)at^2+(So) where (So) is the initial height and S is the height that you want to find.
In this case you want S = 0.
If the initial height is +151 and the initial velocity and acceleration are downwards (negative) and the initial velocity (u) is -15 and the initial acceleration is -32 then you get the equation S=-15t-16t^2+151

Solving this using the quadratic formula gives you t = 2.64 or t = -3.58
Obviously -3.58s can't be the answer so you're left with 2.64 seconds.

Hope this makes sense.

Answer:

in the theory of chances, it states that no matter what the average, chance can change it no matter what. Like someone getting good chances in a video game 2 times in a row. its rare, but compared to how many people play the game and how often, it was bound to happen at some point. the chances could be tiny, but it could still happen. just like if 100 monkeys were on typewriters typing 60 wpm, one would eventually type Abraham Lincoln. low chance, but if all these monkeys are doing it enough, it would happen eventually. so, it is entirely possible that 2/3 of his next predictions will be correct.
