Question 1080958: The height in feet of a projectile with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second and an initial height of 256 feet is a function of time in seconds given by
h(t) = -16t^2 + 96t + 256.
(a) Find the maximum height of the projectile.
_______ft
(b) Find the time t when the projectile achieves its maximum height.
t =______sec
(c) Find the time t when the projectile has a height of 0 feet.
t =______sec

The t value is -b/2a=-96/-32 or 3 seconds (b)
The height will be -144+288+256=400 feet
-16t^2+96t+256=0
divide by -16
t^2-6t-16=0
(t-8)(t+2)=0
t=8 seconds, only positive root.
