please help!!!!:) medal and fan The height of a ball thrown directly up with a velocity of 40 feet per second from a initial height of of 5 feet is given by the equation h(t)==16t^2+40t+5, where t is the time in seconds and h is the ball’s height, measured in feet. When will the ball hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. A. 1.4 seconds B. 2.6 seconds C. 3.1 seconds D. 3.7 seconds

OpenStudy (adamk):

Find the discriminant first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 1.4 BUT i ACTUALLY GOT 1.3 LOL BUT I THINK THAT IS CORRECT. Srry capd, plus Im not good at that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im a horrible person......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you also mind helping me with the same question, just with a different equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has the same answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

velocity of 10... height of 100 h(t) =16t^2+10t+100

I don't want you to fail.... So....don't rely so much on me answers.. Now this one is more confusing. o.o without choices to choose from I don't knwo if i'm doing it incorrrectly.. D: srry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the choices are the same ones as above. 1.4 seconds B. 2.8 seconds C. 3.1 seconds D. 3.7 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...Hmm let me work on this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay if you dont want to do it though! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im doing it :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.. Ok so I thought I had the answer but It is not quite a choice let me redo the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait one important question, and this question can answer your problem for me, what is we looking for exactly? @briannalicxox

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I might be doing another equation instead the one this equation is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when will the ball hit the ground.. i know it has something to do with the discriminant but im not sure how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.... I hope I did this correctly and plz don't be mad if you failed because of me (I'm only in 6th grade but is advanced D: and only wishes and sometimes knows the answer! D:) But I got 2.9 but an answer is 2.8 so Im guessing 2.8 is correct.... Hopefully i'm correct :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@briannalicxox

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank youu!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B, and that's weird that I was off 1 on both answers :3
