Answer:

  3.61 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The bird starts 50 feet in the air, so will come down to a height of 40 feet after 3.61 seconds.

We want to solve h = 40.

  40 = -16t^2 +55t +50

  16t^2 -55t -10 = 0

  t = (55 +√(55^2 -4(16)(-10)))/(2(16)) = (55 + √3665)/32 ≈ 3.61060

The bird will be 40 ft above the ground the first time after about 3.61 seconds.
