An object is thrown in the air with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s from a height of 80 ft. The equation h(t) = –16t2 + 64t + 80 models the height of the object in feet after t seconds. About how many seconds does it take for the object to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a second. 3 seconds 5 seconds 6 seconds 1 second So... a = -16 b = 64 c = 80 Which means to solve it you should do -64/2*-16 right? But that's 2 seconds which isn't an available answer... I've seen alot of people answer 5 but they aren't usin the b/2a method, so,I don't understand
