After Gracie launches her model rocket, the height of the rocket can be modeled by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+360t where h(t) is the height of the rocket in feet and t is the time in seconds
A. How high will the rocket be after 1.5 seconds?
B. After how many seconds will the Rocket hit the ground?
A. How high will the rocket be after 1.5 seconds?
B. After how many seconds will the Rocket hit the ground?
-
A) height = -16(1.5^2) + 360(1.5)
height = 504
B) 0= -16t^2 +360t
(use quad form) and get 22.5 seconds
height = 504
B) 0= -16t^2 +360t
(use quad form) and get 22.5 seconds
-
A. 16(1.5)^2+360(1.5)= 504
B. 22.5
B. 22.5
-
A)-36+540
=504
B) 22.5
=504
B) 22.5

substitute 1.5 for t on both sides, solve for h. then do 0=h and solve for t.
