A large explosion causes wood and metal debris to rise vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The quadratic function h(t)=96t−16t2 gives the height h (in feet) of the debris at time t (in seconds) after the explosion. How many seconds will it take before the debris falls back to the ground?

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the t-intercepts of the function. To do so, let's set h(t) = 0.

0 = 96t - 16t²

0 = 16t(6 - t)  -- Factor 96t - 16t²

16t = 0 or 6 - t = 0  -- Use Zero Product Property

t = 0 or t = 6 -- Solve for t

We're not looking for the solution t = 0 because that represents when the debris was launched. Therefore, the answer is 6 seconds.

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3

(0.2)+(-8)=0.3+-3+0.3m is the equation i guess? ?
