Technology required. Two rocks are launched straight up in the air. The
height of Rock A is given by the function f, where f(t) = 4 + 30t – 16t2. The
height of Rock B is given by g, where g(t) = 5 + 20t – 16t2. In both
functions, t is time measured in seconds and height is measured in feet.
Use graphing technology to graph both equations. Determine which rock
hits the ground first and explain how you know.

The rock that hits the ground first will be the one with lowest time that is rock B

Equation and functions

Given the height of Rock A by the function f, where f(t) = 4 + 30t – 16t^2

Also, for the rock B, the function g(t) = 5 + 20t – 16t^2

The rock will hit the ground at f(t) = g(t) = 0

Substituting the values into the function, we will have:

4 + 30t – 16t^2 = 0

On factorizing the time taken to reach the ground is 2secs

For the function g(t) = 5 + 20t – 16t^2

0= 5 + 20t – 16t^2

On factorizing the time taken to reach the ground is 0.625secs

Hence the rock that hits the ground first will be the one with lowest time that is rock B
