A golfer hits the golf ball. The quadratic function y = −16x^2 + 80x gives the time x seconds when the golf ball is at height 0 feet. How long does it take for the golf ball to return to the ground? HELP PLEASE!

You need to calculate the two zeros of the function. The first zero is the "start", the second zero is the "end" of the trajectory.

Well...

0 = x(-16x+80)

First zero is x=0 (the start of trajectory)

Second zero:

-16x+80=0.... x=5! (The end of the trajectory!)

Good luck!
