A projectile is fired vertically upward from a height of 175175 feet above the ground, with an initial velocity of 800800 ft/sec. Recall that projectiles are modeled by the function h(t)=−16t2+v0t+y0h(t)=−16t2+v0t+y0. Write a quadratic equation to model the projectile's height h(t)h(t) in feet above the ground after t seconds.
