Solve the Problem $P ( t ) = - 16 t ^ { 2 } + 300 t$

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A projectile is fired upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 300 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, the height of the projectile at any time t can be described by the polynomial function $P ( t ) = - 16 t ^ { 2 } + 300 t$ . Find the height of the projectile at t = 8 seconds.

A) 2400 ft
B) 1376 ft
C) 2272 ft
D) 1476 ft
