Question

Set up an algebraic equation and then solve the following problems.

Answer 1

3 seconds

solve for when y is zero

0 = -16t^2 + 32t + 48

0 = -16(x^2-2x-3)

0 = -16(x-3)(x+2)

x = 3 or -2

-2 is extraneous because time is not negative in this instance so 3 seconds.

Answer 2

t=-1 +square root of 2 or t=-1 - square root of 2 is the answer i think
