Question 1123040
.
<pre>
The equation you are asking for is


s(t) = 40,   or


-16t^2 + 40t = 40.


But the problem is that this equation has NO real solutions, and maximal height of the projectile is only 25 ft, so it will NEVER reach 40 ft height.



{{{graph( 330, 330, -2, 5, -5, 50,
          -16x^2+40x
)}}}


Plot s(t) = {{{-16t^2 + 40t}}}

Who gave you this fake problem ?
