Question
A cannon ball is launched into the air with an upward velocity of 241 feet per second, from a 3-foot tall
cannon. The height h of the cannon ball after t seconds can be found using the equation
h =
16t + 241t + 3.
Approximately how long later will the cannon ball be at 218 feet high?
Round answers to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places) if necessary. Type both answers with a comma
between them.

Expert Solution
Step 1

given:

A cannon ball is launched into the air with an upward velocity of 241 feet per second, from a 3 foot tall cannon.

the height h of the cannon ball after t seconds can be found out using the equation h=-16t2+241t+3

we have to tell approximately how long later will the cannon ball be at 218 feet high.

we have to round answers to the nearest hundreth (two decimal places)

then we have to tell how long later will it hit the ground.
