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