Alex hits a soccer ball from the top of a 30 foot tall building and it followed the projectile s(t) = – 16t2 + 355t + 30, where t is the time in seconds, and s(t) is the height of the ball above the ground (measured in feet). a) What are the coordinates of the highest point that her soccer ball reached? Show your work. b) How long will the ball be in the air before it hits the ground again? Show your work. c) Find the practical domain and range for this situation.
