The equation y = -6t^2 + 51t describes the height (in feet) of a projectile launched from the surface of Mars at 51 feet per second. In how many seconds will the projectile first reach 108 feet in height?
2 second= 51+51=102 feets
in 1/100 second, 0.51 feet is climbed
well 108-102 feets = 6 feets
We know that 1/100 second = 0.51 feet
so in order to find these 6 feets
0.51 *x= 6
Specific number of seconds is multiplied to find the feets
x=6/0.51=11.764 approx.=11.8
2:11.8 (Second, second/100)
approx
2 seconds and 11.8 sec/100
2.12 seconds!
