Solve Applications Modeled by Quadratic Equations · Exercise 17

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 $h = - 16 t^{2} + v_{0} t + 8$ to determine how many seconds it will take for the bullet to hit the ground. (That is, when will $h = 0$ ?)
