v(t) = s'(t) = 112 - 32t
at max v = 0
32t = 112
t = 3.5
then s(3.5) = ......
when it hits the ground, s(t) = 0
16t^2 - 112t - 32 = 0
t^2 - 7t - 2 = 0
solve using the quadratic formula,
sub the positive answer into v(t)
Hi I have the same question. The first part is correct to find the maximum height, but while solving for the quadratic formula to find the velocity when it hits the ground, the answer is incorrect. (You would get 7.2749 and -0.27492 after solving the quadratic)
Nevermind! I figured out you're supposed the plug the positive value into the derivative v'(t).
