The height of a projectile fired upward from the ground with a velocity of 128 feet per second is given the formula h=-16t^2+128t
A)when will the projectile be 256 feet above ground?
h=-16t^2+128t = 256
Solve for t
==================
B)will the projectile ever be 300 feet above ground? Explain.
Find the vertex of the parabola, that's the max height.
==================
C)when will the projectile be 240 feet above the ground?
h=-16t^2+128t = 240
Solve for t
==================
D)In how many seconds will the projectile hit the ground?
h=-16t^2+128t = 0
Solve for t
