<PRE><B>Question 336007</B>
a ball is throw downward from a window in a tall building. the distance traveled by the ball in t seconds is {{{s= 16t^2+32t}}},where s is in feet. how long (to the nearest tenth) will it take the ball to fall 97 feet?
---------------
{{{s= 16t^2+32t = 97}}}
{{{16t^2+32t = 97}}}
{{{16t^2+32t - 97 = 0}}}

Use the positive number.
