Question 731857
An object is thrown upward from the top of a 96-foot building with an initial velocity of 80 per second. The height h of the object after t is given by the quadratic equation h=16t+80t+96

When will the object hit the ground at when the time is how many seconds?
======================
Using your equation, it will never hit the ground.
Use h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 96
Notice the first term is negative, and it's t^2.
---------
Use h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 96
It hits the ground when h(t) = 0
Use h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 96 = 0
Solve for t
Ignore the negative value of t.
