Question 89801: the equation h=16t^2+112t gives the height of an arrow. shot upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 112 ft/s, where t is the time after the arrow leaves the ground. find the time it takes for the arrow to reach the height of 180 ft.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
h=-16t^2+112t
180=-16t^2+112t [Let (h) = 180]
0 = -16t^2+112t-180 [set the equation equal to zero]
Use the quadratic formula to factor
x=2.5 seconds at 180 feet
