If a ball is dropped from the top of a 256-ft building, then the formula

Expresses its height h(t) in feet as a function of the time t in seconds.
1. Find h(2), the height of the ball 2 seconds after it is dropped.
2. Find h(4).
-----------------
The formula is probably
h(t) = -16t^2 + 256
---
For h(2), sub 2 for t
h(2) = -16*2^2 + 256 = 192 ft
-----
Do the same for h(4)
