Answer 1

It is 13, because if you use the formula that you learned, Simplify and then turn the factors to 0 to get the answer.
H(t)= -16t^2 - 208t
H(t)= -16t(t-13)
-16t/-16= 0/16= t=0
t-13=0
t=13

Answer 2

It will take 13 seconds for the golf ball to hit the ground. The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice or letter D.
