After scoring the game winning touchdown, a football player spikes the ball. The path of the ball can be modeled by the function f(t) = -16t2 + 15t + 8. Use the discriminant to determine if the football reaches a height of 12 feet after it has been spiked. Justify your answer mathematically.

The discriminat is -31, therefore there are 2 imaginary solutions to this problem. The football will NOT reach a height of 12ft.
