A small stone is kicked off the ground and flies through the air.

The vertical movement of the stone is given by the equation

h=12t5t2

where h is the vertical height of the stone above the ground (in metres) and t is the time after being kicked (in seconds).

By forming and solving a suitable inequality, find the range of time, t, for which the stone is above a vertical height of 4 metres.
