While hovering near the top of a waterfall in a national park at 46244624 feet, a helicopter pilot accidentally drops his sungl
asses. the height h left parenthesis t right parenthesish(t) of the sunglasses after t seconds is given by the polynomial function h left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals negative 16 t squared plus 4624h(t)=−16t2+4624. when will the sunglasses hit the ground?
In order to find out <span>when will the sunglasses hit the ground we need to solve this function for t. We start by moving t to the left side and everything ele to the right side: </span> Now we divide with 16:
Now we take square root:
We ignore negative solution as time can not have negative value.
It twill take 17s seconds for the sunglassesto hit the ground.
