The rocket will take 9.25 seconds to return to ground .

Solution:

Given:

Initial velocity = 148 ft per seconds

Height "h" after "t" seconds is given by equation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 148t

To find:

Time taken by rocket to return to ground  =?

Solution:

The time taken by rocket to return to ground can found by substituting h(t) = 0 in the given equation.

0 = -16t^2 + 148t

Taking t outside

t(-16t + 148) = 0

Zero product property. The zero product property states that if a⋅b = 0 then either a or b equal zero. This basic property helps us solve equations like (x+2)(x-5) = 0

So for above equation we get,

t =0 \text{ or } -16t + 148 = 0

-16t + 148 = 0

-16t = -148

t = 9.25

When t = 0 , the rocket would not left the ground. So ignore t = 0

So t = 9.25
