An object is launched from the ground. The object’s height, in feet, can be described by the quadratic function h(t) = 80t – 16t2, where t is the time, in seconds, since the object was launched. When will the object hit the ground after it is launched? Explain how you found your answer. Set h(t), time = 0.
0 = 80t-16t^2
-16t^2+80t =0

Factor
-16t(t-5) =0

t =0 (when launched)
& t = 5
Sample Response: The object will hit the ground after 5 seconds. You can rewrite the quadratic function as a quadratic equation set equal to zero to find the zeros of the function 0 = –16t2 + 80t + 0. You can factor or use the quadratic formula to get t = 0 and t = 5. Therefore, it is on the ground at t = 0 (time of launch) and then hits the ground at t = 5 seconds.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

I Rewrite the quadratic function as a quadratic equation set equal to zero: 0 = –16t2 + 80t + 0.
Use the quadratic formula to solve for the zeros.

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.
