A large explosion causes wood and metal debris to rise vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second.

Question

A large explosion causes wood and metal debris to rise vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. The polyomial h=80t -16t² gives the height, h, = of the falling debris above the ground, in feet, t seconds after the explosion. A) After 2 second(s), the height of the debris above the ground is feet. 
B) The polynomial factors to be h = Note: If you substitute 2 for t in your factored expression in Part B, you should get the same answer as you did in Part A. Did you? Why is this true? Does this mean your factorization is correct? Think about it, but no response is required.
