The height of a baseball after being hit by a batter is given by h(t) = -16t^2 + 60t + 4 (where h(t) is the height and t is the time it takes the ball to hit the ground. after substituting zero for height and solving using the quadratic formula, you determine that time is approximately -0.07 and 3.82 seconds. 5. Do both of those answers make sense? If so why? 6. What is the final solution to the problem?
