A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the
time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the
time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.
y = -16x2 + 130x + 140

Respuesta :

Answer:

10.17 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute y=0 into the equation

0=-16x²+153x+98

then use the quadratic formula

a = -16

b= 153

c = 98

Substituting values into the Quadratic equation, you get (Round the values to the nearest hundreth):

x₁= 10.17

x₂= -0.60
