Question 3 options:
The science club fires a rocket up into the air.

The height (h) of the rocket, in feet above the ground,

is modeled by the formula h=400t−16t2, where t is the time in

seconds after the rocket is launched.

How many seconds will it take for the rocket to fall to the ground?

Find the value of t, rounded to the nearest tenth.

[how many seconds it took for the rocket to hit the ground].

t =

The height of an object can be represented as a function of time.

It takes the rocket 25 seconds to hit the ground

The height function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{h(t) = 400t - 16t^2}[/tex]

When the rocket hits the ground, we have:

h(t) = 0

So, the height function becomes

[tex]\mathbf{ 400t - 16t^2 = 0}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{ 16t^2 = 400t}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 16t

[tex]\mathbf{ t = 25}[/tex]

Hence, it takes the rocket 25 seconds to hit the ground
