Solving a word problem using a quadratic equation with irrational roots.
When a ball is thrown, its height in feet h after t seconds is given by the equation
Where v is the initial upwards velocity in feet per second.
If v = 33 feet per second, find all values of t for which h = 16 feet.
Do not round intermediate steps. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.
If there is more than one answer, use "or" to state.
