Question 1019497: Use the position function
s(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + s_0
v0 ={initial velocity}, s_0 = {initial position}, t ={time}
to answer the following question.
You throw a ball straight up from a rooftop 124 feet high with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. During which time period will the ball's height exceed that of the rooftop?

You throw a ball straight up from a rooftop 124 feet high with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. During which time period will the ball's height exceed that of the rooftop?
---------------
h(t) = -16t^2 + 32t + 124
Find the 2 times the ball is at 124 feet
-16t^2 + 32t + 124 = 124
t = 0 and t = 2 seconds
---
0 < t < 2
