What is the initial velocity needed for this high jumper to reach this height?

When an object on Earth is propelled upward from ground level with an initial velocity of v0

feet per second, then its height after t seconds is given by h(t) = -16t^2+v0t.

.


A high jumper manages to lift her center of mass approximately 5.9 feet above the ground. What is the initial velocity (v0) needed for this high jumper to reach this height?
