SOLUTION: A bowling ball is dropped from a height of 24 feet. a. Write a function that gives the height h (in feet) of the bowling ball after t seconds. h(t)=__ b. Find the height o

a.  Write a function that gives the height h (in feet) of the bowling ball after t seconds.
h(t) = - 16t^2 + 24      (*)                          <<<---===

b.  Find the height of the bowling ball after 1 second.

The height of the ball after 1 second is __ feet.     <<<---=== substitute t=1 into the polynomial (*)

c.  How long does the bowling ball take to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a second.

The bowling ball takes about __ seconds to hit the ground.    <<<---=== Solve the quadratic equation h(t) = 0, or, which is the same, 
                                                              the quadratic equation   = .
