A basketball is thrown with an initial upward velocity of 30 feet per second from a height of 6 feet above the ground. The equat

ion h=-16t^(2)+30t+6 models the height in feet t seconds after the basketball is thrown. After the ball passes its maximum height, it comes down and then goes into the hoop at a height of 10 feet above the ground. About how long after it was thrown does it go into the hoop?

For this case we have the following equation:
 h = -16t ^ (2) + 30t + 6
 We substitute the value of h = 10 in the equation:
 10 = -16t ^ (2) + 30t + 6
 Rewriting we have:
 0 = -16t ^ (2) + 30t + 6-10
 0 = - 16t ^ (2) + 30t - 4
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = 0.144463904
 t2 = 1.730536096
 "the ball passes its maximum height, it comes down and then goes into the hoop". Therefore, the correct root is:
 t = 1.730536096
 Answer:
 
It goes into the hoop after:
 t = 1.73 seconds

The graph for the equation y=-2x+1 is shown below. If another equation is graphed so that the system has no solution, which equa
12345 [234]
Y=-2x+3 (could be any y-int as long as it has the same slope)

This line is parallel to the original line so they never intersect

Therefore the answer is no solution
