Issac tosses a quarter off of a bridge, creating the shape of a parabola. The parabola can be represented by the equation h=-16t^2-4t+20

c. How high is the coin after. 25 seconds?

d. After how many seconds does it land on the ground?

c) 18 units

d) 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

h = - 16t² - 4t + 20

c) t = 0.25

h = - 16 (0.25) ² - 4 (0.25) + 20

h = 18

d) - 16t² - 4t + 20 = 0

4t² + t - 5 = 0

4t² + 5t - 4t - 5 = 0

t (4t + 5) - (4t + 5) = 9

(4t + 5) (t - 1) = 0

t = - 1.25, 1

t = 1 second
