Question 721182: Differential Calculus
A coin is dropped from the top of the washington monument (a height of 550 feet) and its height above ground is given by s(t)= -16t^2+550, find the time when the coin reaches the ground level. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A coin is dropped from the top of the washington monument (a height of 550 feet) and its height above ground is given by s(t)= -16t^2+550, find the time when the coin reaches the ground level.
-------------
s(t)= -16t^2+550 = 0
16t^2 = 550
Solve for t, the + value
