The height of an object can be represented as a function of time.
It takes the rocket 25 seconds to hit the ground
The height function is given as:
When the rocket hits the ground, we have:
h(t) = 0
So, the height function becomes
Rewrite as:
Divide both sides by 16t
Hence, it takes the rocket 25 seconds to hit the ground
