A golfer hits a golf ball off the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 176 feet per second. How long does it take for the ball to land? Use the formula h = - 16t2 + v0t + h0, where h represents the height of the ball in feet, t represents the time in seconds, v0 represents the initial vertical velocity

Zoey Hancock · Answer 1

You factorize, and solve for y=0

y = -16x2+80x = -16 ⋅x⋅ (x-5) = 0

So x = 0 or (x - 5) = 0 →x = 5 seconds
