16. An object is dropped from a building. The height h (in feet) of the object after

t seconds can be modeled by h(t ) = 16t 2 28t + 25.

a. At what height was the object initially dropped? Explain.
b. Write an inequality that you can use to find the t-values for which the

object was in the air.

c. Based on your results from parts (a) and (b), use a graphing calculator

to determine the time intervals in which the object was in the air.
