Question

HURRY 20POINTS AND BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

• 1/2 of a second

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

• h(t) = -16t^2 +12t +8

Finding the value of t when h(t) = 10 feet:

• 10 = -16t^2 +12t +8
• -16t^2 +12t - 2 = 0
• 8t^2 - 6t + 1 = 0
• t = (6 ± √6²-8*4)/16 = (6 ± √4)/16 = (6 ± 2)/16
• t = 1/2
• t = 1/4

There are two solutions. 1/2 of a second would be the answer as the ball should go up and then down to go through the hoop.
