If a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 120 feet per second, then its height

h after t seconds is given by the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 120t. How long will it take the rocket to return to the ground? Group of answer choices

Answer:

Time = 7.5\ seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equation:\ h(t) = -16t^2 + 120t

Initial\ Velocity = 160ft/s

Required:

Determine the time taken to return to the ground

From the equation given; height (h) is a function of time (t)

When the rocket returns to the ground level, h(t) = 0

Substitute 0 for h(t) in the given equation

h(t) = -16t^2 + 120t

becomes

0 = -16t^2 + 120t

Solve for t in the above equation

-16t^2 + 120t = 0

Factorize the above expression

-4t(4t - 30) = 0

Split the expression to 2

-4t = 0\ or\ 4t - 30 = 0

Solving the first expression

-4t = 0

Divide both sides by -4

\frac{-4t}{-4} = \frac{0}{-4}

t = \frac{0}{-4}

t =0

Solving the second expression

4t - 30 = 0

Add 30 to both sides

4t - 30+30 = 0+30

4t  = 30

Divide both sides by 4

\frac{4t}{4}  = \frac{30}{4}

t  = \frac{30}{4}

t = 7.5

Hence, the values of t are:

t =0 and t = 7.5

t =0 shows the time before the launching the rocket

while

t = 7.5 shows the time after the rocket returns to the floor

abruzzese [7]
Alrighty, so 280.05 rounded to the nearest integer is 280. 280.05 rounded to tenths is 280.1. add those two together and you get 560.1.
