The height h (in feet) of an object t seconds after it is dropped can be modeled by the quadratic equation h = - 16t2 + h0, where h0 is the initial height of the object. Suppose a small rock dislodges from a ledge that is 255 ft above a canyon floor. Solve the equation h = - 16t2 + 255 for t, using the quadratic formula to determine the time it takes the rock to reach the canyon floor.

    H=-16t^2+255

    -255=-16t^2

    15.9375=t^2

    3.99=t
