Question 240303
If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 80 ft/sec, its height after t sec is given by h = 80t - 16t2 Find the number of seconds before the object hits the ground. 
----------------
That's the time that h = 0.  There are 2 of them, one at t = 0, and the other when the object returns to the ground.
80t - 16t^2 = 0
16t^2 = 80t
t = 0
--------
16t = 80
t = 5 seconds
