Question

A penny is dropped from the roof of a building 265 feet above the ground. The height h (in feet) of the penny is a function of the time t (in seconds) and can be represented by the function h(t) = -16t^2 + 256. What does h(4) = 0 mean in regards to the penny?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 256

h(4) =0

This means at t=4 second the height above the ground is 0

At 4 seconds, the penny will hit the ground
