Rafael drops a ball from a third-story window. This equation represents the approximate height, h, in meters, of the ball above the ground after it falls for t seconds.
h = -5t² + 45 
When is the ball at ground level?

• only at t = 0 seconds 
• only at t = 3 seconds
• only at t = 9 seconds
• at both t = 0 seconds and t = 3 seconds
