Question

Anchara drops a penny from a height of 60 feet above the ground. The equation h=-16t^2 + 60 models the penbys height h i feet as a function of time t in seconds whatvare the solutions

Answer 1

t = 1.94 seconds

Explanation:

we have to solve the following polynomial equation:

-16t² + 60 = 0

16t² = 60

t² = 60/16 = 3.75

t = √3.75 = 1.936491673 seconds

the equation also has another possible answer = -1.936491673 seconds, but since time cannot be negative, we have to dismiss that option
