\"+24=+44t-16t%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "4t^2 -11t + 6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%2811+%2B-+5%29%288%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( " x = 2 and x = 3/4
\n" ); document.write( " 3/4 sec missile will reach a height of 24 feet
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
