151t -15t^2 = 88
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-15t^2 +151t -88 = 0

\n" ); document.write( "the rocket follows the path of a parabola that curves downward, quadratic formula is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "t = (-b + or -square root(b^2 -4ac))/2a
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "therefore there two solutions for t
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "t = (-151 +square root(151^2 -4 * -15 * -88))/(2*-15) = 0.62 seconds
