The height of a firework shot upward from the ground with the initial velocity of 10meters per second is represented by the function h(t) = - 16t2 + 4t How long did it take the firework to reach the ground

0.375 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple terms, to find the time it took to reach the ground, we need to find t from the equation.

If we differentiate h with respect to t we will get the velocity with which the fireworks is moving at.

We can now equate this to its velocity and solve for t

10 = -32t +4

t = 0.1875 ( time cannot be negative in value, so we ignore the negative sign)

Therefore, the time it took the fireworks to reach the ground is = 2 x 0.1875= 0.375 seconds.

(We need to account for the fact that the fireworks went up and came down)

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =
