The height, h, in feet of a golf ball above the ground after being hit into the air is given by the equation, h = -16t 2 + 64t, where t is the number of seconds elapsed since the ball was hit. How many seconds does it take for the golf ball to hit the ground? It will take ___seconds for the ball to hit the ground.

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball hits the ground the height is 0

-16t² + 64t = 0

Divide both sides by -16

t² - 4t = 0

Factor out t

t(t - 4) = 0

From the zero product rule

t = 0    and    t - 4 = 0

t = {0, 4}

The ball hits the gound after 4 seconds

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
