SOLUTION: Suppose a ball is thrown vertically up in the air so that the height(in feet)of the ball after (t) seconds is s(t)=80t-16(t^2) - How many seconds have seconds have passed when t

Question 564630: Suppose a ball is thrown vertically up in the air so that the height(in feet)of the ball after (t) seconds is s(t)=80t-16(t^2)
- How many seconds have seconds have passed when the ball's height is 112 feet?

This should be an easy problem, but you might have typed the numbers in wrong. You can use simple calculus to determine that the ball's maximum height during its flight is 100 feet. Thus, the ball never reaches 112 feet.
