Question 680618: Yes, I am currently working on a Story problem regarding Parabolas and the problem is "The equation h=-16t^2 32 models the height H feet reached in t seconds by a ball thrown straight up from the ground." I figured the time to the max height was 1, and the maximum height of the ball was 16, but for the total seconds, I know it is 2, but factoring wise, I cannot come to the answer 2. I have 16x(x 16)=0
