Hey Lily,


Watch my video above and it will explain some things to you about the formula and how you figure out how long the ball stays in the air. This is a very common Algebra I and Algebra II word problem since it involves solving a quadratic.


If I can help you again, let me know. Wyzant could connect us if you are ever in the market for your own personal online tutor :)
