Question 885591: A rock is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 68 fps from the top of a building that is 148 feet tall. The height h(ft) at any time t (sec) can be determined by the equation h(t) = -16t2 + 68 t +148. After how many seconds will the rock hit the ground?

h(t) = -16t2 + 68 t +148
---------
Find t when h(t) = 0
h%28t%29+=+-16t%5E2+%2B+68t++%2B148+=+0
