a ball is thrown, its height in feet h after t seconds is given:
\n" ); document.write( "h = vt - 16t^2
\n" ); document.write( "v=initial upward velocity in feet per second.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " if v=21 feet per second, find all values of t which h=6 feet.
\n" ); document.write( " Do not round intermediate steps, round answer 2 decimals.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " 21t - 16t^2 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "A quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 21t - 6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Use the quadratic formula to find t
