An object launched vertically from a point that is 37.5 feet above ground level with an initial velocity of 48.6 feet per second
Elis [28]

Answer: 3.675 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, when the object hits the ground, h=0:

h=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5

0=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5

We have to apply the quadratic formula:  

For: ax2+ bx + c  

x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a  

Replacing with the values given:  

a=-16 ; b=48.6; c=37.5

x =[ -(48.6) ± √(-48.6)²-4(-16)37.5] /2(-16)  

x = [ -48.6 ± √ 4,761.96] /-32

x = [ -48.6 ± 69] /-32

Positive:  

x = [ -48.6 + 69] /-32 = -0.6375

Negative:  

x = [ -48.6 - 69] /-32 = 3.675 seconds (seconds can't be negative)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
