An object is shot upward from a height of 80 feet with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second. Its height (h) above the ground in feet after t seconds is given by the formula
\n" ); document.write( "h = - 16t2 + 64t + 80. At what times will the object be 128 feet above the ground?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "use the formula and set the height (h) to 128 ft
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 64t + 80 = 128
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 64t + 80 - 128 = 0; subtract 128 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-16t^ + 64t - 48 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide equation by -16, simplifies and changes the signs, easier to factor then
\n" ); document.write( "+t^2 - 4t + 3 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factors to:
\n" ); document.write( "(t - 3) (t - 1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions:
\n" ); document.write( "t = +1 sec, at 128 ft on the way up
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "t = +3 sec, at 128 ft on the way down
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
