We have asked him to fire his famous 95 mph (140 ft per second) fastball straight up. The position equation, which gives the height of the ball at any time t, in seconds, is given by s(t) = –16t2 + 140t + 37. Find the following.
a. The maximum height of the ball
b. The time and velocity when the ball hits the ground
