Polynomial Equations · Example 11
Dennis is going to throw his rubber band ball upward from the top of a campus building. When he throws the rubber band ball from 80 feet above the ground, the function models the height, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of time, t. Find:
ⓐ the zeros of this function which tell us when the ball hits the ground, ⓑ when the ball will be 80 feet above the ground, ⓒ the height of the ball at seconds.
