Question

The height of a kicked football can be represented by the polynomial –16t2 + 47t + 3 = 0, where t is the time in seconds. Find the time in seconds of when the football hits the ground.

Answer 1

just need points t16

Answer 2

Explanation:

-16t2 + 47t + 3 = 0

-16t2 + 48t - t + 3 = 0

-16t( t - 3) - 1 ( t - 3) = 0

-16t - 1 = 0. t - 3 = 0

-16t = 1 t = 3

t = 1/ - 16.
