Answer:

  t = 3-√7 and 3+√7 seconds after launch

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the values of t that make h=10.

  10 = 30t -5t^2

  t^2 -6t = -2 . . . . . divide by -5

  t^2 -6t +9 = 7 . . . add 9 to complete the square

  (t -3)^2 = 7 . . . . . write as a square

  t -3 = ±√7 . . . . . . take the square root

  t = 3 ±√7 . . . . . . values of t for which height is 10 meters

__

These values are about 0.354 seconds, and 5.646 seconds.
