A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a building that is 400 ft high with an initial velocity of 64 ft/s. The height of t

he object can be modeled by the equation s(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 400.
In two or more complete sentences explain how to determine the time(s) the ball is higher than the building in interval notation.
