Question

a chef accidentally drops an egg from a height of 1.8 meters. The height of the egg after t seconds is given by this equation. --> h=-4.9t^2+1.8
How many seconds will it take for the egg to hit the floor? round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

Answer 1

you are given height as a function of time. Set the height equal to zero and solve the time variable 't'

\[0=-4.9t^2+1.8\]

Answer 2

I got t=.61 Is that correct?

Answer 3

sadly, no
