When a batter hits a baseball, you can model the ball's height using a quadratic function that accounts for the ball's initial velocity. However, once the ball reaches its maximum height, its
vertical velocity is momentarily O feet per second, and you can use the falling object model
h(t), to find the ball's height h (in feet) at time t (in seconds) as it falls to the ground. Suppose
a fly ball reaches a maximum height of 67 feet and an outfielder catches the ball 3 feet above
the ground. How long after the ball begins to descend does the outfielder catch the ball?
