The function -6t^2+5t+56=h is used to calculate the amount of time (t) in seconds it takes for an object to reach a certain height (h). according to this function, how many seconds will it take for the object to hit the ground?

3.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) is a quadratic function, it indicate that the object start with initial height (56).

If you want to know when the object hit the ground (h=0) you have to use the quadratic formula and take the positive root (the negative shows a negative time, so we have to discard it).

In this case: a=-6, b=5 and c=56, then the solve is 7/2=3.5

For addition and subtraction the answer should have the same number of decimal places as the least number of decimal places involved in the operation. For multiplication and division the number of significant value of the answer should be the same as the least number of significant values of the involved numbers.

a. 26 x 0.02584 = 0.67
b. 15.3: 1.1 = 14
c. 782.45 - 3.5328 = 778.92
d. 63.258 + 734.2 = 797.5
