Olive Math is standing on the 102nd floor of the Empire State building, thinking about mathamatics. She realizes that, if she were able to throw a ball from her present position, the height of the ball in feet, h, at time t seconds could be modeled by the equation
h = -16t^2 + 64t + 1224.
How high above the ground is the 102nd floor?
What is the greatest height that ball would reach?
How long would it take to reach that height?
How long would it take the ball to hit the ground?
Please help?? PLease just help me get started, im just really confused.
