"how long..." is asking for time (t). "The amount of time spent in the air" is the time from when the ball was kicked (0 seconds) to the time it landed on the ground. Need to find the x-intercepts (one will be negative which will be invalid). You can do this by factoring ... <em>or by using the quadratic formula.</em> With the equation you provided, it is not factorable, so you must use the quadratic formula.
h = -16t² + 60t + 3
a=-16 b=60 c=3
or
or
t = -0.05 or t = 3.8 <em>disregard the negative</em>
Answer: 3.8 seconds
And we are given that and want to find the value of x. Set f(x) to 16 and we get the equation:
Subtract both sides by 4
Divide both sides by 2
This is the answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
