To analyze the function \( f(x) = -16x^2 + 25x \), which models the height of the soccer ball over time (with \( x \) representing time in seconds and \( f(x) \) representing the height in feet), we need to find the x-intercepts. The x-intercepts represent the moments when the ball is at ground level (height = 0).
To find the x-intercepts, we set the function equal to zero:
\[
-16x^2 + 25x = 0
\]
Factoring out \( x \):
\[
x(-16x + 25) = 0
\]
This gives us two solutions:
1. \( x = 0 \) (the moment the ball is kicked)
2. From \( -16x + 25 = 0 \):
\[
-16x = -25 \implies x = \frac{25}{16} \approx 1.563
\]
Thus, the x-intercepts are \( (0, 0) \) and \( \left(\frac{25}{16}, 0\right) \).
Now let's interpret the second x-intercept:
- The x-intercept \( \left(1.563, 0\right) \) means that the soccer ball will return to the ground approximately \( 1.563 \) seconds after it has been kicked.
Therefore, the relevant response is:
**(1.563,0); The soccer ball will return to the ground 1.563 seconds after it has been kicked.**
