The zero of the equation [tex]6 = -16x^2 + 24x + 1[/tex] represents the moment when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.
Given that,
The height y, in feet, of a football x seconds, after it is thrown is modeled by the equation,
[tex]\rm y = -16x^2 + 24x + 1.[/tex]
We have to determine,
What information does the zero of the equation [tex]6 = -16x^2 + 24x + 1[/tex] represent?
According to the question,
In the quadratic equation for the ball's height, it is found that the zero of the equation represents,
[tex]\rm 6 = -16x^2 + 24x + 1[/tex]
The instant of the time x is when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.
The height of the ball is y(x), after x seconds, is modeled by:
[tex]\rm y = -16x^2 + 24x + 1.[/tex]
The equation given is,
[tex]\rm 6 = -16x^2 + 24x + 1[/tex]
In which the height is 6 feet above the ground, and the zeroes are the instants of time when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.
Hence, These points represent the moment when the ball is 6 ft above the ground.
