Given:

The height of ball is represented by the below function:

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+24

To find:

The number of seconds it will take to reach the ground.

Solution:

We have,

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+24

At ground level, the height of ball is 0, i.e., h(t)=0.

-16t^2+20t+24=0

Taking out greatest common factor.

-4(4t^2-5t-6)=0

4t^2-5t-6=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

4t^2-8t+3t-6=0

4t(t-2)+3(t-2)=0

(t-2)(4t+3)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(t-2)=0 and (4t+3)=0

t=2 and t=-\dfrac{3}{4}

Time cannot be negative, so t=2.

Therefore, the ball will reach the ground after 2 seconds.

In geometry what is n = 1
nikitadnepr [17]
At its most basic definition, N+1 simply means that there is a power backup in place should any single system component fail. The 'N' in this equation stands for the number of components necessary to run your system. The '+1' means there is one independent backup should a component of that system fail.

Hope this helps
