Question 910876: An object is dropped from the top of a building that is 144 ft high. The function given by h(t) = -16t2 + 144 relates the height h(t) of the object, In feet, to the time t in seconds after it is dropped. Find h(0) – interpret the meaning Find the t-intercepts and interpret the meaning

h(t) = -16t2 + 144
h(0) = 144T dropped at that height
h(t) = -16t(t-18)
0 = -16t(t-18)
t is 0, 18
when dropped, Hits ground after 18 sec
