During a fourth of July celebration, a cannon is fired upwards from Fort Ontario. The height, h, in feet, of the cannonball above sea level at any given time, t, in seconds, can be determined by the formula h = -16t2 + 120t + 200. Find the height, in feet, of the cannonball above sea level 5 seconds after the cannon is fired.

Answer:

400 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We just need to find h when t = 5. To do so, we can plug t = 5 into the function, which would be:

h = -16t² + 120t + 200

  = -16 * 5² + 120 * 5 + 200

  = -400 + 600 + 200 = 400 feet

Answer:

h = 400 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

given t = 5 seconds

h = -16t² + 120t + 200

just substitute t = 5

h = -16(5)² + 120(5) + 200

h = 400 feet
