Problem 5

From the edge of a cliff 48 m above the ground, a ball is vertically thrown upward at a velocity of 16 m/s. The function h(t)=4t2+16t+48h(t)=-4t^2+16t+48 represents its height above the ground after it is thrown, where t is time in seconds. Determine the time at which the ball hits the ground.
