A ball is kicked 4 feet above the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 55 feet per second. The function h(t)=-16t^2+55t+4 represents the height h (in feet) of the ball after t seconds. Using a graph, after how many seconds is the ball 30 feet above the ground? Round your answers to the nearest tenth. (Two answers!)
