It hits the ground at h=0

0=-16t^2-16t+96
undistribute -16
0=-16(t^2+t-6)
factor
0=-16(t-2)(t+3)
set to zero
0=t-2
2=t

t+3=0
t=-3, nope, we can't have negative time

at t=2, or 2 seconds

Answer:

2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : h = -16t^2 -16t + 96

To Find: after how many seconds it will hit the ground?

Solution:

The height of the balloon is given at time t :  h = -16t^2 -16t + 96

Now we re supposed to find after how many seconds it will hit the ground i.e. height will be 0 , h=0

Substitute h = 0 in the equation

0 = -16t^2 -16t + 96

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

t=2,-3

Since the time cannot be negative

So, it will hit the ground after 2 seconds .

The price of an item has been reduced by 85% . The original price was $45. What is the price of the item now.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:the price for the item now it's 6.75


Step-by-step explanation:

Origin price is 45=100% after reduction comes to 85% =x

X stands for the unknown value of the reduction therefore

45=100%

X=85%

45*.85=100x


After calculation you realised the value of x reduction value it's 38.25


Hence, original price is 45 your less from the value reduced 38.25 therefore the value of the item is 6.75
