it hits the ground when h=0
0=-9.8t^2-10t+230
use the quadratic equation to solve for t.
If a stone is tossed from the top of a 230 meter building, the height of the stone as a function of time is given by h(t) = -9.8t2 – 10t + 230, where t is in seconds, and height is in meters. After how many seconds will the stone hit the ground? Round to the nearest hundredth’s place; include units in your answer
