While hovering near the top of a waterfall in a national park at 1936 feet, a helicopter pilot accidentally drops his sunglasses. The height h (t) of the sunglasses after t seconds is given by the polynomial function h (t) equals negative 16 t squared plus 1936. When will the sunglasses hit the ground?

    11 seconds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the height h (t) of the sunglasses after t seconds is given by the polynomial function

    h (t) = -16t²+1936

    The sunglasses will hit the ground when the height h (t) = 0

    h (t) = -16t²+1936=0

    -16t²+1936=0

    -16t²=-1936

    t²=1936/16=121

    t=√121=11 seconds

    The Sunglasses will hit the ground 11 seconds after it is dropped by the pilot.
