Question 804027: Mr. Bruce throws a lip gloss from one end of the classroom to a garbage can at the other side of the room. The lip gloss follows a path described by
H=-4.9^2+7.2t+0.5, where "h" is the height in meters, and "t" is time in seconds. Foolishly, Mr. Bruce forgets to account for the fact that the ceiling is only 3m high. Will the lip gloss make it to the garbage can? Or hit the celling, or hit a student on the way back down

I suspect you mean
H=-4.9 t^2+7.2t+0.5
and the max H is over 3 meters so it hits the ceiling and probably hits a student and Mr Bruce is charged with assault and battery and has to buy lipgloss for everyone
