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)

I cannot see the table. But if I could that would be helpful.

But, if you were to look at the table see if the numbers are increasing or decreasing for the y column. Once you figure this out, find out how much the numbers are increasing/decreasing by and that should be the answer for the constant of proportionality. If it is decreasing, it would be a negative number. If it is increasing, it would be a positive number.
