Answer:

2s or 3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function that models the height of the object as;

h(t) = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96

The ball reaches the ground when h = 0

Substitute

0 = - 16t^2 + 80t + 96

Divide through by -16

0 = t²-5t-6

t²-5t-6 = 0

t²-2t-3t+6 = 0

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

(tt-2)(t-3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 and t-3 = 0

t = 2 and 3s

Hence it will take the ball 2s or 3s to reach the ground

Leah loves chicken wings and is comparing the deals at three different restaurants. Buffalo Bills has 888 wings for \$7$7dollar
ella [17]

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Bills = 8 wings for $7

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Bills = \frac{7}{8} =0.875

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Mild Wings = 12 wings for $10

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Mild Wings = \frac{10}{12}= 0.833

Cost of chicken wings at Wingers = 20 wings at $17

Cost of 1 wing at Wingers = \frac{17}{20}= 0.850

Hence, comparing all the three costs per wing, we can see that Buffalo Mild Wings is serving chicken wings at lowest price of $0.833 per wing.
