ANSWER
5
EXPLANATION
The equation that expresses the approximate height h, in meters, of a ball t seconds after it is launched vertically upward from the ground is
To find the time when the ball hit the ground,we equate the function to zero.
Factor to obtain;
Apply the zero product property to obtain,
t=0 or t=5.1 to the nearest tenth.
Therefore the ball hits the ground after approximately 5 seconds.
