Question 364311: If an object is projected vertically upward from an altitude of s0 feet with an initial velocity of v0 ft/sec, then its distance above the ground after t seconds is given by the function below. If s(2) = 136 and s(5) = 55, what are v0 and s0? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):

If an object is projected vertically upward from an altitude of s0 feet with an initial velocity of v0 ft/sec, then its distance above the ground after t seconds is given by the function below. If s(2) = 136 and s(5) = 55, what are v0 and s0? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
-------------
I'll use:
s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s0
s(2) = -64 + 2v + s0 = 136
s(5) = -400 + 5v + s0 = 55
-------------
2v + s0 = 200
5v + s0 = 455
------------- Subtract
-3v = -255
v = 85 ft/sec
----------
s0 = 30 feet
