Question 109062This question is from textbook algebra 2
: A bald eagle snatches a fish from a lake and flies to an altitude of 256 ft. The fish manages to squirm free and falls back down into the lake. Its height h in feet can be modeled by h(t)= 256-16 t squared, where t is the time in seconds. How many seconds will the fish fall before hitting the water? This question is from textbook algebra 2
You can put this solution on YOUR website! h(t)= 256-16 t squared, where t is the time in seconds. How many seconds will the fish fall before hitting the water?
--------------------------
h is zero when the fish hits the water.
EQUATION:
256-16t^2 = 0
16t^2 = 256
t^2 = 16
t = 4 seconds
