: The path of a falling object is given by the function s+-16t^2+vot + so where represents the initial velocity in ft/sec and represents the initial height in feet. Also, s o represents the height in feet of the object at any time, t, which is measured in seconds.
a) If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 40 feet per second from the top of a 30-foot building, write the height (s) equation using this information.

a) If a rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 40 feet per second from the top of a 30-foot building, write the height (s) equation using this information.
:
s = -16t^2 + 40t + 30
