Answer:
A. 2.04 seconds
B. 5.92
C: 1.48 - 0.4 = 1.08 seconds
Explanation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
USE THIS TO GET "B"
the f(-b/2a) is the highest point,
the vertex of the parabola [-b/2a, f(-b/2a)] will give you the time
and height of the highest point
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
USE THIS TO GET "A"... you will get two answers one will be negative
ignore that one , the positive one is the time to hit the ground
if you factor the equation (use the quadratic formula) you will get
the "zeros" that is where the ball is on the ground...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS IS FOR PART "C"
if you set the equation equal to 4.5 meters and factor that for the "zeros" you will get the two times that the ball is at that height.. subtract the two times for the duration
