The Height of a projectile above the ground is described by the function P(t)=-16t^2+640t
-When will the projectile get back to the ground, height = 0?
P(t)=-16t^2+640t = 0
Solve for t
===========================
-When will the projectile be 3696 feet above ground?
P(t)=-16t^2+640t = 3696
Solve for t
