Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
h is the height of the pebble after a certain amount of time has gone by. Since we are told to find that time when the pebble is on the ground, we say that h = 0 since the height of something on the ground has no height at all. Then factor the quadratic.
[tex]-16t^2+12t+1900=0[/tex]
Throw that into the quadratic formula or however you were taught to factor irrational quadratics (maybe completing the square?) to get that
t = 11.27869 sec and t = -10.52869 sec
Since we all know that time will never carry a negative value, we will disregard it and go with 11.27869 seconds. Not sure to where you are told to round.
