ok ty!

np yw

OpenStudy (mathmate):

hint: solve H(t) = −16t2 + vt + s = 0 where v=110, s=150 Ignore the negative root, and round the root to the nearest second.

OpenStudy (pandaecat):

H(t)=-16t2+110t+150=0 then?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

substitute v=110, s=150 and solve the resulting quadratic.

OpenStudy (pandaecat):

Oh I see! ty too
