Answer:
The ball will be able to reach the 16 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate if the ball will be able to reach that height, we must make "h" equal to 16, if there's a real positive solution, then the ball will be able to reach it.
16 = -16t² + 35t
16t² - 35t + 16 = 0
t = [-(-35) +- sqrt((-35)² - 4*16*16)]/(2*16)
t = [35 +- sqrt(1225 - 1024)]/32
t = [35 +- sqrt(201)]/32
t = (35 +- 14.177)/32
t1 = 0.65071875
t2 = 1.5367
The ball will reach that height at 0.65 s and 1.53 s.
