Question 1198012: 2. A ball is thrown from the top of a 144-foot bell tower. The ball follows a trajectory. The height (h)
reached by the ball after t seconds is given by the quadratic function h(t) = 64t-16t^2.
a. How high did the ball reach?
b. How long did it take to reach that height?
c. Where was the ball after 5 seconds?

.

The equation h(t) = 64t - 16t^2 in the post is not consistent with the given fact
that the initial height of the ball is 144 feet.

The input info in the post is self-contradictory.

Also, the speed of the throw is not given.
Was it just dropped?
