Answer: The ball hits the ground at 5 s
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems incomplete and there is not enough data. However, we can work with the following function to understand this problem:
(1)
Where 
models the height of the ball in meters and 
the time.
Now, let's find the time when the ball Sara kicked hits the ground (this is when 
):
(2)
Rearranging the equation:
(3)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 
:
(4)
This quadratic equation can be written in the form 
, and can be solved with the following formula:
(5)
Where:
Substituting the known values:
(6)
Solving we have the following result:
This means the ball hit the ground 5 seconds after it was kicked by Sara.
253. First, I squared 8, to get 64, then multiplied that by 12. I subtracted 9 from this because 3x3 is 9 to get 759. Then, divide this by 3 to get 253. Hope this helped!
