You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have your equation for height as a function of time, $\"h%28t%29=-16t%5E2%2B240t\"$ . You are asked exactly, find t for $\"+h%28t%29=0\"$ . This question on that equation is clear. $\"-16t%5E2%2B240=0\"$ , so find t. What kind of equation is that? Do you remember a general method to find a solution? \n" ); document.write( "
