The height of an object after it is released can be modeled by the function f(t)=-16t^2+vt+s, where t is the number of seconds after the object is released, v is the upward speed at release, and s is the starting height. If a quarterback throws a ball from his hand 6 feet in the air at a speed of 25 feet per second, how much time does his teammate have to catch the ball?
about 1.45 seconds
about 1.77 seconds
about 6 seconds
about 25 seconds
