Solve using the Zero Product Property. Elizabeth and Markus are playing catch. Elizabeth throws the ball first. The height of the ball can be modeled by the equation h = −2t(t − 5), where h is the height of the ball in feet and t is the time in seconds. Markus is distracted at the last minute and looks away. The ball lands at his feet. If the ball travels at a rate of 3.5 feet per second, how far is Markus standing from Elizabeth when the ball hits the ground? Markus is standing feet away from Elizabeth when the ball hits the ground.
