A hiker drops a pebble from a bridge 240 feet above a canyon. The polynomial $-16 t^{2}+240$ gives the height of the pebble $t$ seconds a after it was dropped. Find the height when $t=3$ .
Introduction to Factoring Polynomials
A painter working high on the side of a skyscraper drops his brush from his scaffolding, which is hanging 1024 feet above the ground. The height above the ground of the brush can be modeled by the equation h = -16t^2 + 1024, where t is the number of seconds after the brush is dropped and h is the height in feet. Interpret the meaning of -16t^2 in this context.
