A ball is thrown from an initial height of 1 meter with an initial upward velocity of 15 m/s. The ball's height h (in meters) after t seconds is given by the following equation: h = 1 + 15t - 5t^2 Find all values of t for which the ball's height is 6 meters. Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 2 meters with an initial upward velocity of 13 m/s. The ball's height h (in meters) after t seconds is given by the following equation: h = 2 + 13t - 5t^2. Find all values of t for which the ball's height is 7 meters.

A ball is thrown directly upward from a height of $6 \mathrm{ft}$ with an initial velocity of $20 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec} .$ The function $s(t)=-16 t^{2}+20 t+6$ gives the height of the ball, in feet, $t$ seconds after it has been thrown. Determine the time at which the ball reaches its maximum height and find the maximum height.
