A bird drops of stick to the ground from a height of 95 ft. The function h= 16t^2+95 gives the sticks approximate height h above the ground, in feet, feet r seconds. At above what time does the stick hit the ground

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 2.44 seconds (above 2 seconds)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the stick hits the ground it has the height of zero.

Substitute h with 0 and solve the given equation for t:

[tex]- 16t^2 + 95 = 0\\16t^2 = 95\\t^2 = 95/16\\t = \sqrt{5.93} \\t=2.44[/tex]
