Polynomial Equations · Exercise 58
Solve.
Gianna is going to throw a ball from the top floor of her middle school. When she throws the ball from 48 feet above the ground, the function models the height, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of time, t. Find:
ⓐ the zeros of this function which tells us when the ball will hit the ground. ⓑ the time(s) the ball will be 48 feet above the ground. ⓒ the height the ball will be at seconds which is when the ball will be at its highest point.
