Algebra.Com's Answer #713706 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the equation is h(t)=-4.9t^2+25t+20 \n" ); document.write( "That equals 7 when the rock is 7 meters above the water. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore -4.9t^2+25t+13=0=4.9 t^2-25t-13 \n" ); document.write( "t=(1/9.8)(25+/- sqrt (625+254.8); sqrt term is 29.66 \n" ); document.write( "t=54.66/9.8=5.58 sec. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
