2) A different daredevil thinks the first guy is nuts. He decides to launch himself out of a different cannon

from a much smaller hill. His height, in feet, can be found by the following equation after t seconds.

 



A) Write an equation that would allow you to find the time that it would take for the daredevil to hit the

ground.

B) Explain why it would be difficult to find when the daredevil hits the ground in this problem using factoring.

The Quadratic Formula:

Quadratic formula allows you to solve quadratic equations even when the expression cannot be easily factored.

The formula is stated below. Note that the equation is written in standard form.

bx c



 

**For any equation in the form

, the solutions are

 





NOTE: For both factoring and quadratic formula you must get equations into standard form set equal to 0.

C) Use the Quadratic Formula to solve your equation from part (B). Make sure you follow Order of Operations

and round your final answers to the nearest tenth.
