Question: If a ball is thrown upward at 40ft per second from a rooftop 24 ft above the ground, then its height above the ground t seconds after it is thrown is given by h = -16t^2 + 40t + 24. Rewrite this formula with the polynomial on the right-hand side factored completely. Use the factored version of the formula to find h when t = 3. (see page 339 problem 103)
