Since you have the answers given, just track their walking.
After one hour, one guy has covered 3mi and the other 4mi, which is in total 7, not 14
After 2 hours, one guy has covered 6mi and the other 8mi, which is 14mi
The algebraic way would be:
3x +4x = 14 *x being the hour
7x = 14
x =2
The maximum height the ball achieves before landing is 682.276 meters at t = 0.
<h3>What are maxima and minima?</h3>
Maxima and minima of a function are the extreme within the range, in other words, the maximum value of a function at a certain point is called maxima and the minimum value of a function at a certain point is called minima.
We have a function:
h(t) = -4.9t² + 682.276
Which represents the ball's height h at time t seconds.
To find the maximum height first find the first derivative of the function and equate it to zero
h'(t) = -9.8t = 0
t = 0
Find second derivative:
h''(t) = -9.8
At t = 0; h''(0) < 0 which means at t = 0 the function will be maximum.
Maximum height at t = 0:
h(0) = 682.276 meters
Thus, the maximum height the ball achieves before landing is 682.276 meters at t = 0.

Explanation:
It helps to understand the process of multiplying the binomials. Consider the simple case ...
(x +a)(x +b)
The product is ...
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x + ab
If the <em>constant</em> term (ab) is <em>negative</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) are <em>different</em>.
If the constant term (ab) is <em>positive</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) will both match the sign of the coefficient of the linear term (a+b).
___
Of course, the sum (a+b) will have the sign of the (a) or (b) value with the largest magnitude, so when the signs of (a) and (b) are different, the factor with the largest magnitude will have the sign of (a+b), the x-coefficient.
<u>Example</u>:
x² -x -6
-6 tells you the factors will have different signs. -x tells you the one with the largest magnitude will be negative.
-6 = -6×1 = -3×2 = ... (other factor pairs have a negative factor with a smaller magnitude)
The sums of these factor pairs are -5 and -1. We want the factor pair that has a sum of -1, the coefficient of x in the trinomial.
x² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
Using the formula
L=rx (x=angle)
x=L/r
x=8/3
x=2.6 radians
