Question 734478: The height of fireworks during a Fourth of July show can be modeled by quadratic equations. The function h(t) = -16t^2 + vt gives the height of the object launched from the ground. h(t) = height in feet, t = time that has passed in seconds, v = initial velocity
Solve for t when h(t) = 0. Explain your results and what they mean.
