The height, h of a baseball, in meters at t seconds after it is tossed out of a window
is modeled by: h=-512 + 20t+15. A boy shoots at the baseball with a paintball gun.
The trajectory of the paintball is given by the equation: h= 3t+3. Will the paintball
hit the baseball? If so, when? At what height will the baseball be?

Respuesta :

You'll be solving:

-5t^2 + 20t + 15 = 3t + 3

5t^2 - 17t - 12 = 0

(t - 4)(5t + 3) = 0

t = 4 or t = -3/5, but let's assume t ≥ 0
