The height y (in feet) of a baseball t seconds after it is hit can be modeled by the function y = −16t2 + 96t + 3. About how long does it take to hit the ground?

6.03 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To solve this, we simply set the height to 0.

i.e.

So, we have:

Solve using quadratic formula.

or

or

Since time can't be negative, we have:

(approximated)

109 is the nearest whole number/final answer! : )

step-by-step explanation:

if you meant, "on the way from (3, 2) to (3, 14):

x does not change; y increases by 12.
