The height of a projectile moving vertically is given by the table, where t is the elapsed time in seconds and h is the height in feet. t = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 h = 100, 684, 1236, 1756, 2244, 2700 If the height is modeled by h(t) = -16t2 + v0t + h0, where v0 and h0 are the velocity and height at t = 0, respectively, find v0
