See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 16t^2[/tex]

The equation is incomplete. However, a possible question could be to calculate the distance of the fish at a particular time

e.g. Time, t = 4,

The distance is:

[tex]y = 16t^2[/tex]

[tex]y = 16 * 4^2[/tex]

[tex]y = 16 * 16[/tex]

[tex]y = 256ft[/tex]

Another possible question is to determine the time taken to cover a certain distance

e.g.

Distance, y = 400

This gives:

[tex]y = 16t^2[/tex]

[tex]400 = 16t^2[/tex]

Divide by 16

[tex]25 = t^2[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]5 = t[/tex]

[tex]t = 5\ seconds[/tex]
