An arrow is shot vertically upward from a platform 46ft high at a rate of 183ft/sec. When will the arrow hit the ground? Use the formula: h=−16t2+v0t+h0. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)

Question

An arrow is shot vertically upward from a platform high at a rate of . When will the arrow hit the ground? Use the formula: . (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)



Answer 1

Substitute h = 0, h0 = 46, and v0 = 183

0 = -16t² + 183t + 46

Use the quadratic equation to solve for t
