An object was launched from the top of a hill with an upward vertical velocity of 170 feet per second. The height of the object can be
modeled by the function h(t) = -16t2 + 170t + 100, where t represents the number of seconds after the launch. Assume the object landed on the ground at sea level. Use technology to find the answer.
The object was __ feet in the air 9 seconds after it was launched.
