Question 1093456: If an object is propelled upward from a height of s feet at an initial velocity of v feet per second, then its height h after t seconds is given by the equation h = -16t^2+vt+s, where h is in feet. If the object is propelled from a height of 12 feet with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, it's height h is given by the equation h = -16t^2+64t+12. After how many seconds is the height 72 feet?

If the object is propelled from a height of 12 feet with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, it's [sic] height h is given by the equation h = -16t^2+64t+12. After how many seconds is the height 72 feet?
=================================
h = -16t^2+64t+12 = 72
---
-16t^2+64t+12 = 72
Solve for t. What's the big deal?
