problem

Billy shoots an arrow from 10 feet above the ground. The height of this arrow can be expressed by the equation h=10−23t−10t2h=10-23t-10t^2, where tt is time in seconds since the arrow was shot. If the center of a target is raised 5 feet off the ground, in how many seconds must the arrow reach the target in order for Billy to hit the bulls eye?
