Answers
First let me fix your post:
A model rocket is launched with an initial upward velocity of
164 ft/s. The rocket's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given by the following.
h = −16t^2 + 164t
Find all values of t for which the rocket's height is 92 feet.
so you want:
92 = -16t^2 + 164t
16t^2 - 164t + 92 = 0
4t^2 - 41t + 23 = 0
Use the quadratic equation to solve.
