The height of an object thrown upward from the roof of a building 408 ft. tall, with a initial velocity of 96 ft/ sec, is given by the equation h= -16t2+96t+408, where h represents the height of the object after t seconds. How long will it take the object to hit the ground?. Answer in exact form and decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth.
