When an apple is dropped from a tower 256 feet high, the function h (t) = -167 + 256 models the height of the

    around 1.5 sec

    Step-by-step explanation:

    basically you wanna figure out at what time is the height=0

    since h (t) represents height, set it to 0 then solve for t

    i believe you might have forgotten the t in the equation so i assumed it was - 167t

    0=-167t+256

    -256=-167t

    t=1.53293413174

    around 1.5 seconds after it was dropped

    alternatively, you could plug the equation into desmos, replacing h (t) with y and t with x and find the x intercept
