draw this
\n" ); document.write( "h=-9.8t^2+18t+36
\n" ); document.write( "want h=4
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "-9.8t^2+18t+32=0
\n" ); document.write( "t=(-1/19.6)-18+/-sqrt(324+1254.4); sqrt term is equal to 39.73, use negative root only
\n" ); document.write( "t=(-1/19.6)(-57.73)=2.95 seconds
