5.4 Exercise 116

Avg difficulty 2.5

Find the function values for each polynomial function.

A pair of glasses is dropped off a bridge 640 feet above a river. The polynomial function h(t)=−16t2+640h \left(t\right) = −16 t^{2} + 640 gives the height of the glasses t seconds after they were dropped. Find the height of the glasses when t=6.t = 6 .
