To find the time the ball will be going upward, you can use the equation for vertical motion:
[ v_f = v_i - gt ]
Where: ( v_f ) = final velocity (when the ball reaches its peak, its final velocity is 0) ( v_i ) = initial velocity (given as 56 feet per second) ( g ) = acceleration due to gravity (approximately -32 feet per second squared, negative because it acts downward) ( t ) = time
Rearranging the equation to solve for ( t ):
[ t = \frac{{v_f - v_i}}{{-g}} ]
Plug in the values:
[ t = \frac{{0 - 56}}{{-32}} ]
[ t = \frac{{-56}}{{-32}} ]
[ t = 1.75 \text{ seconds} ]
So, the ball will be going upward for 1.75 seconds.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
