The height, s, in feet, of a rock thrown upward at an initial speed of 76 ft/s from a cliff 46 ft above the ocean beach is given by the function where t is the time in seconds. After how many seconds will the rock hit the beach? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

\[Equation: S(t)=-16t^2+76t+46\]

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Is the answer 2.4?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you wanted to find after what time the rock hits the gorund again, right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

why are u calculating vertex ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to find the x-intercepts by solving : \(-16t^2+76t+46 = 0\)

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

Oh

OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):

5.3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
