1. An object is propelled off of a platform that is 75 feet high at a speed of 45 feet per
second (ft./s). The height of the object off the ground is given by the formula
h(t) = - 16t+45t+75, where h(t) is the object's height at time (t) seconds after the
-16
object is propelled. The downward negative pull on the object is represented by
Solve for t.
