question: ⇒ an object is launched from the ground. the object’s height, in feet, can be described by the quadratic function h(t) = 80t – 16t2, where t is the time, in seconds, since the object was launched. when will the object hit the ground after it is launched?

it would take 5 seconds for the object to hit the ground after launched.

1st step: (turn the quadratic function to a quadratic equation by setting the equal to zero): 0 = -16t2 + 80t + 0

2nd step: t = 0 & t = 5

(t = 0 is the time of launch. t = 5 represents the 5 seconds it took to hit the ground after the object was launched.)

The object will hit the ground after 5 seconds. You can rewrite the quadratic function as a quadratic equation set equal to zero to find the zeros of the function 0 = –16t2 + 80t + 0. You can factor or use the quadratic formula to get t = 0 and t = 5. Therefore, it is on the ground at t = 0 (time of launch) and then hits the ground at t = 5 seconds

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
