a water balloon is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 25 ft/s. its height h(t) in ft after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = − 16t2 + 25t + 3. show your work.

19. after how many seconds will the balloon hit the ground? (hint: use the quadratic formula)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
