When the object hits the ground, the value of h(t) of the given function becomes 0 such that,
                                 0 = -16t² + 144      or 144 - 16t² = 0
The equation above becomes a difference of two squares where 144 is the square of 12 and 16t² if the square of 4t. Factoring then gives,
                                    (12 - 4t) x (12 + 4t) = 0
                           12 - 4t = 0 ; t = 3       and 12 + 4t = 0   ; t = -3
The answer is 3 seconds.

If you are given $10 every 3.5 hours and you want to find the unit rate per hour, you want to solve for how much money you make every hour. You do this by dividing the $10 by the 3.5 hours, which will result in about $2.86 per hour. (This is a rounded value)
