Question 805753: A gun fires a bullet almost straight up from the edge of a 140-foot cliff. If the bullet leaves the gun with a speed of 556 feet per second, its height at time t is given by h(t)=−16t2+556t+140, measured from the ground below the cliff.
When will the bullet land on the ground below the cliff

A gun fires a bullet almost straight up from the edge of a 140-foot cliff. If the bullet leaves the gun with a speed of 556 feet per second, its height at time t is given by h(t)=−16t2+556t+140, measured from the ground below the cliff.
---------------------
When h(t) = 0
Solve for t
