Answer:

t=8.81s and t=0.62s

Step-by-step explanation:

Asking for H=88ft and putting units leaves us with the formula:

88ft=(151ft/s)t-(16ft/s^2)t^2

Which can be also written as:

(16ft/s^2)t^2-(151ft/s)t+88ft=0

We want t, and this is a quadratic formula of the form at^2+bt+c=0, which we know has the solutions:

t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

So we put the relevant values (a=16ft/s^2, b=-151ft/s, c=88ft) on that equation we get:

t=\frac{(151ft/s)\pm\sqrt{(-151ft/s)^2-4(14ft/s^2)(88ft)}}{2(16ft/s2)}

Which for the plus sign gives t=8.81345408729s and for the minus sign gives t=0.6240459127s, which rounding to the nearest hundredth are t=8.81s and t=0.62s
