Solve Applications Modeled by Quadratic Equations. A bullet is fired straight up from a BB gun with initial velocity 1320 feet per second at an initial height of 8 feet. Use the formula h = 16t² + vot + 8 to determine how many seconds it will take for the bullet to hit the ground. (That is, when will h = 0?). Round your answer to one decimal place. - The bullet will hit the ground after seconds. Question Help: Video Message instructor Submit Question
