Hello, I need help answering this question for my Algebra 2 class. Here it is: An over zealous golfer hits a flop shot with a sand wedge to get out of the corner of a sand trip with an initial velocity of 45 ft per second. The path of the golf ball is modeled by h(t)=-16t+45t.

A) How long does it take for the golf ball to reach its maximum height?

B)What is its maximum height?

C) How long will it take for it to hit the ground?

D) When will the golf ball be 10 ft above the ground?

So I know you have to use the quadratic formula, I just have no idea how to do it or set it up. Thank you.
