Question

A baseball fan sitting in the bleachers above right field accidentally drops his drink over the 41-foot wall. How long will it take the drink to hit the field below? Use the quadratic equation h = - 16t^2 + 41 to solve for t (time) using h = 0 for the height when the drink hits the field. Apply the square root method.

Answer 1

Answer:

t=sqrt(41)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

h=-16t^2+41, h=0. -16t^2+41=0, t=sqrt(41)/4
