a) Substitute 0 for t and solve for h
b) Set the function equal to zero and solve for the positive root
c) Set the function equal to 40 and solve for both roots
d) Set the function equal to 80 and solve for both roots (hint: if the roots are complex, the ball never gets that high)
e) The 
coordinate of the vertex of 
is given by 
. Use this fact to calculate 
f) Evaluate the function at
