Altitude of a launched object. The altitude of an object, in meters, is given by the polynomial

h + vt − 4.9t2,

where h is the height, in meters, at which the launch occurs, v is the initial upward speed (or velocity), in meters per second, and t is the number of seconds for which the object is airborne

the question is?

anonymous · Answer

not sure actually this was one that was given me to figure out?  is this one that can be solved?

anonymous · Answer

so uh, what do you have to figure out? the velocity at t time? maximum height? total duration of flight?

anonymous · Answer

well, i guess its not solvable because you dont have the actual height or velocity is that correct if so then that is what i would answer.

anonymous · Answer

all this is is an expression that give the altitude (in meters) of an object after some time t.

anonymous · Answer

well if they ask for something we can always answer in variables, what is the question though?

anonymous · Answer

thats all i had.  I will check tomorrow thanks
