A stone is thrown upward from ground level. The initial speed is 320 feet per second. In how many seconds will the stone hit the ground?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i assume the inital height is 0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and its in feet sooo -16t^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-16t^2 + 320t is your position equation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when that bottoms out; the derivative is zero and that is half the time

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or simply find the vertex axis at: -b/2a and twice it to get -b/a
