Answer: C.) 1.12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to substitute h=0 (when the rock hits the ground the height above it is 0) in the equation given:

h (t) = –16t2 + 20

Solving for t (time)

0= –16t2 + 20

16t2=20

t2=20/16

t=√1.25 =1.12 seconds (option C)

Is throw right ASAP
Alexxx [7]

Answer: No it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

All linear functions can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (slope-intercept form). Alternatively, a linear function can be expressed in the form y – y0 = m(x – x0), where m is the slope and (x0, y0) is a point on the line (point-slope form).
