You can put this solution on YOUR website! The height(h) in feet of a ball after (t) seconds is given by h=96t-16t^2. How long did it take for the ball to hit the ground
-----------
Height is zero when the ball hits the ground::
Solve::
-16t^2 + 96t = 0
-16t(t - 6) = 0
Positive solution::
t = 6 seconds
