Please see Money_Word_Problems/4447:

A person standing close to the edge on the top of a 200-foot building throws a baseball upward into the air. The quadratic function models the ball’s height above the ground in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.

After how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height?

How many seconds does it take the ball to hit the ground?
