The height, in feet, of an arrow is given by the equation
h(t) = -16tsquared +70t +7 where "t" is in seconds.
How long will it take for the arrow to hit the ground?
Please round your solution to the nearest tenth of a second.
--------------------
Height is zero when the arrow hits the ground.
---
-16tsquared +70t +7 = 0
---
t = [-70 +- sqrt(70^2-4*-16*7)]/(-32)
--------
t = [-70 +- sqrt(5348)]/(-32)
--------
Positive solution:
t = 4.47 seconds
