Answer:
The vertex (h,k) is (-4,-7).
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you are looking for the vertex .
The vertex form of a quadratic is where the vertex is (h,k) and a tells us if the parabola is open down (if a<0) or up (if a>0). a also tells us if it is stretched or compressed.
Anyways if you compare to
, you should see that
.
So the vertex (h,k) is (-4,-7).

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.
