To find the time at which both balls are at the same height, set the equations equal to each other then solve for t.
h = -16t^2 + 56t
h = -16t^2 + 156t - 248
-16t^2 + 56t = -16t^2 + 156t - 248
You can cancel out the -16t^2's to get
56t = 156t - 248
=> 0 = 100t - 248
=> 248 = 100t
=> 2.48 = t
Using this time value, plug into either equation to find the height.
h = 16(2.48)^2 + 56(2.48)
Final answer:
h = 40.4736

1) 185.16 - 18.99 = 166.17
2) divide 166.17 by 0.87 = 191
3) he drove the truck for 191 miles
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In logarithmic functions, if we have an exponent say the
in
, we can "pull it down" from the power and multiply it next to the log.
