just a quick clarification, tis usually -4.9 and that's a rounded number to reflect earth's gravity on an object in motion, but -5 is close enough :)


\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in meters} \\\\ h(t) = -4.9t^2+v_ot+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}\\ \qquad \textit{at


\bf h(x)=-5(\stackrel{\mathbb{F~O~I~L}}{x^2-8x+16})+180\implies h(x)=-5x^2+40x-80+180 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill h(x)=-5x^2+\stackrel{\stackrel{v_o}{\downarrow }}{40} x+\stackrel{\stackrel{h_o}{\downarrow }}{\boxed{100}}~\hfill
