1. A ball is kicked up from a platform 36 feet above the ground. The height of the ball h(t) above the ground (measured in feet) can be modeled by the
function h (t)
-3t2 + 12t + 36, where t represents the amount of time
(in seconds) since the ball was kicked. How long to the nearest second did it
take the ball to hit the ground?
-
seconds to hit the ground
