x+y =15

x-y = 3

add the two equations

2x = 18

divide by 2

x = 9

x + y = 15

9 + y =15

subtract 9

y = 9

The two numbers are 6 and 9

In basketball, hang time is the time that both of your feet are off the ground during a jump. The equation for hang time is t =

const2013 [10]

Considering the hang time equation, it is found that Player 1 jumped 0.68 feet higher than Player 2.

<h3>What is the hang time equation?</h3>

The hang-time of the ball for a player of jump h is given by:

$t = 2\left(\frac{2h}{32}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

The expression can be simplified as:

$t = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}$

For a player that has a hang time of 0.9s, the jump is found as follows:

$0.9 = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}} = \frac{0.9}{2}$

$(\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}})^2 = \left(\frac{0.9}{2}\right)^2$

$h = 16\left(\frac{0.9}{2}\right)^2$

h = 3.24 feet.

For a player that has a hang time of 0.8s, the jump is found as follows:

$0.8 = 2\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}} = \frac{0.8}{2}$

$(\sqrt{\frac{h}{16}})^2 = \left(\frac{0.8}{2}\right)^2$

$h = 16\left(\frac{0.8}{2}\right)^2$

h = 2.56 feet.

The difference is given by:

3.24 - 2.56 = 0.68 feet.
