The ball will hit the ground at 2 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The path of the ball = h(x)=−2x2+1x+6
Here,
x is the time while h is the height of ball.
When the ball will hit the ground, the height will become zero. Therefore,
h(x)=−2x2+1x+6
0 =−2x2+1x+6
or
2x2 -1x - 6 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, hence by applying quadratic equation formula:
here,
a = 2
b = -1
c = -6
Putting these values in formula, we get
x = 2, -3/2
As the time cannot be negative. Therefore, the ball will hit the ground at 2 seconds.
