Question 75465: The height h in feet of an object after t seconds is given by the function
h = –16t^2 + 40t + 9.
How long will it take the object to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The height h in feet of an object after t seconds is given by the function
h = –16t^2 + 40t + 9.
:
When it hits. the ground h = 0 so we have:
-16t^2 + 40t + 9 = 0
:
We can use the quadratic formula: a=-16,b=40,c=9
