Daniel dives into a swimming pool.  the height of his head is represented by the function  h(t) = -8t2  - 28t  + 60,  where  t  is  the time in seconds and  h(t) is  the height of his head, in inches. how many seconds will it take for daniel's head to reach the surface of the pool?

So, h(t) is how far is Daniel's head from the surface of the water, namely the surface itself is when the height is nill, so his head is at the surface and the height of it is just 0, thus h(t)  = 0.  Namely, what is "t" when h(t) is 0?



clearly the seconds cannot be a negative unit, so is not -3/2.
