Question 83686: The height h in feet of an object after t seconds is given by the function
h = –16t^2 + 70t + 5.
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 + 70t + 5.
How long will it take the object to hit the ground?
-----------------
When it hits the ground its height will be zero.
-------------
-16t^2+70t+5=0
t = [-70+-sqrt(70^2-4*-16*5] / -32
t = [-70+-sqrt(5220)] / -32
t = [-70+-72.25] / -32
t = 4.44529... seconds
