an arrow is shot vertically upward from a platform 18ft high at a rate of 184ft/sec. When will the arrow hit the ground? Use the formula: h=−16t2+v0t+h0. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

h(t) = -16t2 + 184t + 18

at the ground h = 0

hence;  -16t2 + 184t + 18 = 0  

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula ; a = -16, b = 184, c = 18 ; x = (-b +-(b2 - 4ac)1/2)/2a

gives t = 11.597 seconds and rounded to the nearest tenth, t = 11.6 (note that the negative root has no practical significance)
