Answer:

You can either factor or use quadratic formula to find where h(x)=0

Explanation:

Remember that the ball is on the ground when h(x)=0 since that is the height. There will be two zeros, one is a negative number so would be before you kicked the ball, the other one will be when the ball comes back down.
