Question 3 options:

Answer 1

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:

$\mathbf{h(t) = 400t - 16t^2}$

When the rocket hits the ground, we have:

h(t) = 0

So, the height function becomes

$\mathbf{ 400t - 16t^2 = 0}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{ 16t^2 = 400t}$

Divide both sides by 16t

$\mathbf{ t = 25}$

Hence, it takes the rocket 25 seconds to hit the ground
