Question

A sandbag was thrown downward from a building. The function f(t) = -16t^2 - 32t + 384 shows the height f(t), in feet, of the sandbag after t seconds:

Part A: Factor the function f(t) and use the factors to interpret the meaning of the x-intercept of the function.

Answer 1

1 know the x-intercepts are 4 and -6 but 1'm unsure what to do from there.

Answer 2

the x-intercepts 4 and -6 are the time in seconds when the height of the bag is zero (when it reaches the ground)
the -6 can of course be ignored
