I think she bought 23 feet
Answer:
5.2 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to determine the value of x when h(x) = 0
:
-16x^2 +83x + 4 = 0
:
use quadratic formula to determine the value for x
:
x = ( -83 + sqrt(83^2 - 4*(-16)*4) ) / (2*(-16) = −0.047753182
:
x = ( -83 - sqrt(83^2 - 4*(-16)*4) ) / (2*(-16) = 5.235253182
:
we want the positive value for x since time runs forward
:
the ball hung in the air for approx 5.2 seconds
