  1. Rewrite equation in standard form: Rewrite the equation h=405t5t2h=40-5t-5t^2 as a quadratic equation in standard form: 0=5t25t+400 = -5t^2 - 5t + 40.
  2. Divide by 5-5: Divide the entire equation by 5-5 to simplify: 0=t2+t80 = t^2 + t - 8.
  3. Factor the quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation: 0=(t+4)(t2)0 = (t + 4)(t - 2).
  4. Set equal and solve for tt: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for tt: t+4=0t + 4 = 0 or t2=0t - 2 = 0.
  5. Find physical solution: Solve for tt: t=4t = -4 or t=2t = 2.
  6. Find physical solution: Solve for tt: t=4t = -4 or t=2t = 2.Since time cannot be negative, discard t=4t = -4 and keep t=2t = 2 as the physical solution.
