Question 987862: A projectile is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of 89 ft/sec. It's height(ft), t seconds after launching is given by s=-16t^2 + v0t + s0.
a) Fine the time(s) the projectile will reach a height of 100 feet. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Set the function equal to 100 and solve for . Since this is a quadratic equation, it will have two roots. If both roots are positive, then each is a time when the projectile is at an altitude of 100 feet; once on the way up, and once on the way down.
