- Watermelon drop A springtime tradition at the University of California San Diego is the Watermelon Drop, where a watermelon is dropped from the seventh story of Urey Hall. (a) The binomial 16t2+80 gives the height of the watermelon t seconds after it is dropped. Factor the greatest common factor from this binomial. (b) If the watermelon is thrown down with initial velocity 8 feet per second, its height after t seconds is given by the trinomial 16t28t+80 . Completely factor this trinomial.arrow_forwardHeight of a beach ball The height of a beach ball tossed up with an initial speed of 12 feet per second from a height of 4 feet is related to the number of seconds, t, since it is tossed by the trinomial 16t2+12t+4 . Completely factor the trinomial.arrow_forwardHeight of a toy rocket The height of a toy rocket launched with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from the balcony of an apartment building is related to the number of seconds, t, since it is launched by the trinomial 16t2+80t+96 .
