A baseball is thrown straight upward with an intital speed of 128 feet/sec. The number of feet s above the ground after t seconds is given by the equation s = -16t squared + 128 feet.
---------
It's -16t^2 + 128t
---
When -16t^2 + 128t = 192
Solve for t
There are 2 times, going up and coming back down.
