Formula: H(t) = 56t – 16t^2
H(t) = - 16t^2 + 56t
A. What is the height of the ball after 1 second? H (1) = 56(1) – 16(1) ^2 = 40 pt.
B. What is the maximum height? X = - (56)/2(- 16) = 1.75 sec h (1.75) = 56(1.75) – 16(1.75) ^2 h (1.75) = 49ft.
C. After how many seconds will it return to the ground? – 16t^2 + 56t = 0 - 8t =0 t = 0
- 8t (2 + - 7) = 0 2t – 7 = 0 t = 7/2 Ans: 3.5 seconds
