The height h in feet of an object after t seconds is given by the function
h=-16t^2+60t+9....
How long will it take the object to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth....
----------------
When it hits the ground its height is zero.
--------------------
-16t^2+60t+9 = 0
t = [-60+-sqrt(60^2-4*-16*9)]/-32
t = [-60+-sqrt(4176)]/-32
Find the positive answer:
t = 3.8944 seconds
