Question 1054430: The height s of an object projected directly upward from an initial height 𝑠0 feet with initial velocity 𝑣0 feet per second is 𝑠(𝑡) = −16𝑡2 +𝑣0𝑡 +𝑠0, where t is the number of seconds after the object is projected. Use this information for the following.

A potato is shot directly upward from an initial height of 6 feet with an initial velocity of 100 feet per second.

a. Give the function that describes the height of the potato in terms of time t.


b. At what time will the potato reach its maximum height?


c. When will the potato hit the ground?
