Question 1026057: While on the golf course last weekend Marc hit into the rough landing the ball behind a
tall tree. His best option was to get it high enough to get over the tree and hopefully
come down in the fairway for his next shot. So with a mighty swing he hit the ball into
the air and was surprised to see the ball hit near the top of a 300 foot tall tower that
he had not noticed.
The formula for this shot is: 2
h x x x ( ) 16 120   where h is the height of the ball and
x is the number of seconds the ball is in the air.
A. How high did Marc actually hit the ball?

The formula makes no sense.
