Solve Applications of Quadratic Equations · Exercise 24

Solve using any method. Round your answers to the nearest tenth, if needed.

A stone is dropped from a 196-foot platform. Use the formula h = −16t^2 + v_0t + 196 to determine how many seconds it will take for the stone to hit the ground. (Since the stone is dropped, v_0= 0.)

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
