Help me answer this question

Answer 1

Answer:

  5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball returns to its original height, it will be 96 ft from the ground. That means we want to solve for t ...

  h(t) = 96

  96 +80t -16t^2 = 96

  16t(5 -t) = 0 . . . . subtract 96 and factor

This equation is true for t=0 and for t=5.

After 5 seconds, the ball will pass the top of the building on the way down.
