Solve Applications of Quadratic Equations · Exercise 23

Solve using any method. Round your answers to the nearest tenth, if needed.

A bullet is fired straight up from a BB gun with initial velocity 1120 feet per second at an initial height of 8 feet. Use the formula h = −16t^2 + v_0t + 8 to determine how many seconds it will take for the bullet to hit the ground. (That is, when will h = 0?)
