Your answer would be -18m-6n-30
Set s(t) = 0 which means it hits the ground. The formula doesn't fit the parameters given as it shows that the pitcher is standing on something 37 feet high.
<span>s(t)=-16t^2+140t+37 and has an initial velocity of 140.
Graphing or solving this, t= 9 seconds when it hits the ground.
The velocity V(t) is the derivative of s(t)
V(t) = -32t+140
V(9) = -148 ft/second which is going down
