We are solving this : [ the shot will be at 0 m above the ground at the finish ]
-0.004s^2 +0.64s+1.94 = 0 multiply by -250
s^2 - 160s - 485 = 0 add 485 to each side
s^2 - 160s = 485
Take 1/2 of 160 [80] ......... square it [6400] and add to each side
s^2 - 160s + 6400 = 485 + 6400 factor the left side and simplify the right
(s - 80)^2 = 6885 take the + √ root
s - 80 = √6885 add 80 to boh sides
s = √6885 + 80 ≈ 162.98 m [ that's one heck of a throw....LOL !!! ]
