The function h(t) = 2.3 + 50t - 1.86t^2 models the height of an arrow shot from a bow on Mars, where h(t) is the height in metres and t is time in seconds. How long does the arrow stay in flight?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The arrow stay in flight for 26.92 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that  the height of an arrow shot from a bow on Mars is modeled by equation:

[tex]h(t) = 2.3 + 50t - 1.86t^2[/tex]

Where h(t) is the height of arrow

t is the time in seconds

Now we are supposed to find How long does the arrow stay in flight?

Substitute h(t)=0

So,[tex]2.3+50t-1.86t^2=0[/tex]

[tex]1.86t^2-50t-2.3=0[/tex]

t=-.04 , 26.92

Since the time cannot be negative

So,the arrow stay in flight for 26.92 seconds
