Question 1042142: A soccer ball is kicked by a goalkeeper. The height of the ball is given by the equation h = 25t - 5t2, where h is the height in meters, and t is the time in seconds the ball is in the air. Solving the equation h = 0 will determine the times the ball is at ground level.
Solve the equation 25t - 5t2 = 0 to determine how long the ball is in the air
