H(t)=-16t•-16t+150t+5 but i have to make a quadratic equation that shows when the rocket will land

Question

Hi thank you for answering my question.

Answer 1

Assuming the correct equation is

h(t) = -16t² + 150t + 5,

set h(t)=0 and solve for t using the quadratic formula. You will get a negative and a positive solution. Since t starts at t=0, the positive solution is the correct one.
