After scoring the game winning touchdown, a football player spikes the ball. The path of the ball can be modeled by the function f(t) = -16t2 + 15t + 8. Use the discriminant to determine if the football reaches a height of 12 feet after it has been spiked. Justify your answer mathematically.

The discriminat is -31, therefore there are 2 imaginary solutions to this problem. The football will NOT reach a height of 12ft.

Solve this quadratics equation by factoring.

18x2 - 3x = 6

18x2 - 3x -6 = 0

       =  3(6x2 - x - 2) = 0

       =  3(3x -2)(2x +1)= 0

       =  3x -2 = 0   2x + 1 = 0

        x = 2/3 or x -1/2
