I believe your answer is 6 seconds.
Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:
x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.
I hope this helps!
This is a linear function.
A linear function is a straight line that has a slope, and follows the formula: <em>
y = mx + b</em>
In which:
y = y
m = slope
x = x
b = y -intercept
