The solution to x + 8.5 = 64.5 is 56.
x + 8.5 = 64.5
- 8.5 - 8.5
---------------------------
x = 56
Solving the quadratic function, it is found that the particle returns to the ground after 7 seconds.
<h3>What is the quadratic function for the particle's height?</h3>
The particle's height after t seconds is modeled by the following equation:
s(t) = -16t² + v(0)t.
In which v(0) is the initial velocity of the particle, which in this problem is of 112 ft/s, hence:
s(t) = -16t² + 112t.
The particle hits the ground when s(t) = 0, hence:
s(t) = 0
-16t² + 112t = 0
-16t(t - 7) = 0.
Hence the non-trivial solution is:
t - 7 = 0 -> t = 7.
The particle returns to the ground after 7 seconds.

<span>The easiest way is probably noticing that the plane flies 180 miles farther than the car in the same time. And...the car goes 90 mph slower. If you imagine that they started at the same point...that means that the two trips went on for two hours (2 hours x 90 mph faster = 180 miles farther). </span>
