Question

The height of an object at any time can be found with the polynomial - 16t ^ 2 + 550 where t is the time in seconds. How high is the object after 3.5 seconds?

Answer 1

354 m

Explanation:

to find the height substitute t = 3.5 into the height polynomial

height = - 16(3.5)² + 550 = - 16(12.25) + 550 = - 196 + 550 = 354
