Need to find the x-intercepts (one will be negative which will be invalid). You can do this by factoring ... <em>or by using the quadratic formula.</em> With the equation you provided, it is not factorable, so you must use the quadratic formula.
h = -16t² + 60t + 3
a=-16 b=60 c=3
or
or
t = -0.05 or t = 3.8 <em>disregard the negative</em>
