The time it will take the ride to reach the floor is  77.29 seconds

Quadratic equations

These are equations that has a leading  degree of 2.

Given the function that represents the height of the roller coaster

h(t) = –0.086t^2 + 6t + 50,

At the ground level, h = 0

Substitute

h(t) = –0.086t^2 + 6t + 50,

–0.086t^2 + 6t + 50 = 0

0.086t^2 - 6t - 50 = 0

Factorize

On factorizing, the time it will take the ride to reach the floor is  77.29 seconds

The most suitable way is use graphical method

  • h=-0.086t^2+6t+50

Set h=0

  • -0.086t^2+6t+50=0

Graph attached

Time can't be negative so 77.29 is correct one
