A bad punter on a football team kicks a football approximately straight upward with an initial velocity of 75 fy/sec.
a) If the ball leaves his foot from a height of 4 ft, write an equation for the vertical height s(in feet) of the ball t seconds after being kicked.
I wrote the model and it's -16t^2+75t+4
My problem is the second part.
b). Find the time(s) at which the ball is at a height of 80 ft. Round to 1 decimal place.
