Question

Please help :) Thanks.

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that If the baseball player hits a baseball from 4 feet off the ground and the problem gives the equation
`h = -16 t^(2) + 64 t + 4`.
2. Keeping the information given in the problem on minde, you have that
`h=0`, so you must solve the quadratic equation:

`-16 t^(2) + 64 t + 4=0`
3. When you solve it you obtain the following result:

`t=2+ √(17) /2`

`t=2- √(17) /2`
The answer is the first option.
