Question 50986: I need the method for solving this more than the answer, but both would be appreciated:
Mark launched a model rocket using an engine which will generate a speed of 180 feet per second. The formula h = rt - 16t squared gives the height of an object projected upward at a rate of r feet per second after t seconds. After how many seconds will Mark's rocket reach a height of 464 feet? After how many seconds will it be at that height again? Thank you.
