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 .

Solve for R using cross multiplication
topjm [15]

R/ r+ 15 = 3/8

Cross multiply: top of one side multiplied by bottom of other side:

R x 8 = 3 x r+ 15

Simplify:

8r = 3r + 45

Subtract 3r from both sides:

5r = 45

Divide both sides by 5:

R = 9
