As Juan continued his hitting practice, one of the balls flew over the center field stands and into the parking lot. "Did you see that shot", he yelled at the friends. "The ball hung in the air for at least 10 seconds", he exclaimed. The formula for this hit is: h(x) = -16xsquared + 83x +4 where h is the height of the ball and x is the number of seconds the ball is in the air.

Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
How long did the ball actually hang in the air? Is Juan able to mathematicallly back up how long he says the ball was in the air?
