You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula to use is:
\n" ); document.write( "Where:
\n" ); document.write( "h=height
\n" ); document.write( "v=velocity
\n" ); document.write( "t=time in seconds
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the knowns:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Differenate and multiply the results by 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the results by 2:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(2.03125)=4.0625\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or you can factor it:
\n" ); document.write( "
65t-16t^2
\n" );
document.write( "16t(4.0625-t)
\n" );
document.write( "t=0 or t=4.0625. ---> this  would be a proving statement, if you were asked to prove it.\r
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the time it would take is 4.06 seconds.
\n" );
