The height of an object thrown upward from the floor of a canyon 106 feet deep with an initial velocity of 120 feet/second is given by the equation:
h=-16t2 + 120t - 106
How long will it take the object to rise to the height of the canyon wall? Round answer to the nearest hundreth.
----
solve -16t^2+120t - 106 = 106
----
-16t^2 + 120t -212 = 0
Divide thru by -4 to get:
4t^2 - 30t + 53 = 0
---
t = -b/(2a)
t = -120/(2*-16) = 3.75 seconds
