Problema Solution

An object is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 8 feet per second from the top of a building h feet high. The time it takes for the object to hit the ground below is given by the formula 16t^2-18t-h=0.

Solve for this formula for t.

Answer provided by our tutors

16t^2 - 18t - h=0


t1 = (1/16)(9 + √(16h + 81))


t2 = (1/16)(9 - √(16h + 81))
