Chapter 3.5, Problem 34AYU

Physics A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The distance $s$ (in feet) of the ball from the ground after $t$ seconds is $s (t) = 96 t - 16 t^{2}$ .

(a) At what time $t$ will the ball strike the ground?

(b) For what time $t$ is the ball more than 128 feet above the ground?
