Question 2 of 4

Answer 1

Answer:

The time it took for the bottle rocket to reach a height of 200 feet is 60 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function for the height of the bottle rocket (in feet), t seconds after  it is launched is:

$h(t)=1157-16\ t$

Compute the value of t as follows:

$h(t)=1157-16\ t$

$200=1157-16t$

 $16t=1157-200\\16t=957$

     $t=59.8125\\t\approx60$

Thus, the time it took for the bottle rocket to reach a height of 200 feet is 60 seconds.
