A monkey is in a tree 50 feet off the ground and
drops a banana, which lands on a shrub 30 feet below. The
function h(t) = -16ť? + 50, where t represents the time in
seconds, gives the height h, in feet, of the banana above the
ground as it falls. When will the banana land on the shrub?

Respuesta :

The banana will land on the shrub after 1.88 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the height of the shrub above the ground.

Height = 50 ft - 30 ft = 20 ft

  • Step 2: Find the time at which the banana falls on the shrub

h(t) = -16t + 50

20 = -16t + 50

-30 = -16t

∴ t = 30/16 = 1.88 seconds

Answer: 20
