The values for which the rocket's height is 93 feet are t = 0.48 seconds and 12.08 seconds.
What is a parabola?
It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.
We have:
A model rocket is launched with an initial upward velocity of 201ft/s.
The rocket's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given by the following:
h = 201t -16t²
The above equation is parabolic.
Plug h = 93 feet
93 = 201t - 16t²
16t² - 201t + 93 = 0
After solving with the quadratic formula:
[tex]\rm t_{1,\:2}=\dfrac{201\pm \sqrt{201^2-4\left(16\right)\left(93\right)}}{2\left(16\right)}[/tex]
t = 0.481, 12.081
or
t = 0.48, 12.08 secods
Thus, the values for which the rocket's height is 93 feet are t = 0.48 seconds and 12.08 seconds.
