When an apple is dropped from a tower, the function h(t)=-16t2+256 models the height of the apple, in feet, after t seconds. How many seconds after being thrown will the ball hit the ground and what was the initial height of when the ball was released?

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
