The total time in seconds the ball will take to travel before returning the ground is 2.25 seconds.
<h3>What is factorisation?</h3>The breaking or breakdown of an entity (such as an integer, a matrices, or a polynomials) into a products of another unit, or factors, whose multiplication results in the original number, matrix, etc., is known as factorisation or factoring in mathematics.
Calculation for the time;
Let 't' be the time in second the ball will travel.
Let H(t) be the total height travelled by the ball.
The equation of the height is given as
As soon as the ball will return to the ground the total height will become zero.
So, put equation of height equal to zero.
Factorise the above equation;
Put each value equals to zero to get the value of time.
As, time can not be zero
Therefore, the total time taken by the ball to return to the ground is 2.25 sec.

General Idea:
If we have a quadratic function of the form f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c , then the function will attain its maximum value only if a < 0 & its maximum value will be at x=-\frac{b}{2a} .
Applying the concept:
The height h is modeled by h = −16t^2 + vt + c, where v is the initial velocity, and c is the beginning height of the firecracker above the ground. The firecracker is placed on the roof of a building of height 15 feet and is fired at an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. Substituting 15 for c and 100 for v, we get the function as .
Comparing the function f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c with the given function , we get
,
and
.
The maximum height of the soccer ball will occur at t=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-100}{2(-16)} = \frac{-100}{-32}=3.125 seconds
The maximum height is found by substituting in the function as below:
Conclusion:
<u>Yes !</u> The firecracker reaches a height of 100 feet before it bursts.
