A rose thrown onto a platform has a height, h(t), given by the formula -16t^2 + 32t + 20. How long will it take before the rose hits the ground?

What I did with past problems on the worksheet was this:
h(t)=18x-6x^2
h(t)=-6x (-3 + x)
x=0, 3
3 seconds

But it doesn't seem to work with this problem, so I decided to ask here.

PLEASE, don't just post the answer, show the work, explaining a bit if needed. Or, you don't even have to post the answer, just tell me how you go about doing this problem.

Thanks ^_^

It seems like I just can't keep focus. I process tests basically. I look at it and know the answer or know what to do and start doing it. The thing is, sometimes I don't read it right. Sometimes I copy an answer wrong from one side of the page to the other side and then mess things up. Sometimes I don't notice that this number is a positive or a negative. Is there any good way to keep focus?

When I look over, I often read it the same way so I don't end up catching my mistakes...

Why should we do this homework that doesn't teach us anything?
Or Why Can't the teachers actually TEACH (NOT saying this for ALL teachers but for some). They make us learn the whole chapter by ourselves at home.

I am a single/working mother of two. I need some extra cash to supplement my income while I am going to two different schools, and I don't want to work any extra hours, preferably I want to work less. Any suggestions.

Life's Like That

Cold and grey,
your hair blown astray.
Flustered lost,a windswept sunhat.
It may be confusing, but life's like that.

Nervous with jitters,
heart's butterflies flitter.
perhaps your shy, oh what a drat.
Left in the shadows, life's like that.

Crazy with worry, feeling insane,
riding around, on a destinationless train.
Not sure of where you're going,or even where you're at,
spun like a spinner, life's like that.

Not feeling well, full of regret.
your feelings are obvious, by your brow full of sweat,
full of remorse, you feel small as a gnat.
It's merely human nature, because life's like that.

Now you're happy and elated,
aren't you glad that you waited?
A tire lacking air, my poem's gone flat.
So here's the happy ending,
because life's sometimes like that.

Love's Lacking Cry

I never thought I'd have to push and shove,
just for a bit of my father's love.
He never called me 'Daddy's little girl",
Never spun me in a childish twirl.
He never read me a tale from my favorite story book,
Never helped me make a clubhouse in a small corner nook.
He never danced with me in the rain,
Never kissed away the pain.
He never took me to the rink to skate,
But now its too late.

He never crossed the street, and held my hand tight,
never chased away the monsters in the middle of the night.
He never looked at me in awe with pride,
never came to comfort me when I cried.
So how come I feel his arms around me,
after he's died?
