Question

A baseball is dropped from a stadium seat that is 79 feet above the ground. Its height s in feet after t seconds is given by $s(t)=79-22t^2$. Estimate to the nearest tenth of a second how long it takes for the baseball to strike the ground. The baseball strikes the ground in $\Box$ seconds. (Simplify your answer. Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
