I need some help please!

Step-by-step explanation:

lets first start by plugging in 1024 into initial height

h(t) = -16t^2 + 1024

I would find a Greatest Common Factor (GCF) first

-16(t^2 - 64)     If this is new just think that if you multiply -16 by t squared and -64 you will come back to the original equation

But now we notice that T squared -64 can be factored with the difference of perfect squared method

so we will get -16(t-8)(t+8)

So to get the answers we will set everything equal to 0

-16t =0

t =0 this is the time that the penny was thrown

t-8 = 0

t = 8 the is the time the penny hit the ground

t+8 =0

t= -8 This is an extraneous solution or a solution that doesn't make sense so we just disregard the solution.

hm let me think hm think think hm think yes
