You cast a fishing lure from 4 feet above the water. Its travel is given by the function h = -16t^2 + 24t + 4, where t = time in seconds. After how many seconds will it reach a height of 12 feet?

Fishing lure will be at a height of 12 feet after 0.19 and 1.31 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel of a fishing lure has been given by the expression,

h = -16t + 24t + 4

where h = height of the fishing lure

t = time or duration of travel

Height traveled by the fishing lure = 12 - 4 = 8 feet

For h = 8 feet,

8 = -16t² + 24t + 4

-16t² + 24t + 4 - 8 = 0

16t² - 24t + 4 = 0

4t² - 6t + 1 = 0

t =

step-by-step explanation:

  n=   0.0000 - 0.3750 i  

  n=   0.0000 + 0.3750 i
