h=-16t^2+32t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

elaborate please.. show us what you have tried and where you are stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solving for t and i was thinking of factoring it out...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know how to complete the square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if u have h + 16t^2 - 32t=0 how could u solve that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry i forgot to mention that h=16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jk_16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that gives me -16t^2+32t-16=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh thats why you dont know how to complete the square so 16+16t^2 -32t=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This seems like the equation to calculate the height/time of a projectile in the air. Anyways, the answer is: \[t =1\]
