asked • 04/10/21Application of Quadratic Functions (Word Problem) - Please help!
Question: A camera is accidentally dropped from a helicopter at a height of 4,096 ft. If the equation for height as a function of time is h(t) = -16t^2 + initial height where t is time in seconds and h(t) is height in feet, how many seconds will it take for the camera to hit the ground?
If you can, please show your work so I can learn how to do this on my own! Thank you. :]
