I don't know for sure, but I think there might be an error in the way you copied your function. In all of my dealings with these types of problems, I have learned the formula to be h(t) = 15 + 10t - 16t^2. Notice the plus in front of the "10t". This is due to the fact that if he pushes off of the overhang he would have an upward force of 10 feet per second as soon as his feet left the ground. The only thing pulling him back to Earth is gravity, modeled by the "-16t^2". This is derived from a bit of slightly advanced physics involving the gravitational constant, but let's work under my formula for a second...
Either way, we will wind up using the Quadratic Formula (or possibly factoring if the numbers are easy enough to work with). So let's start.
h(t)= 15 +10t - 16t^2
In order to use the QF or factoring I will need to make h(t)=0. Simply done by:
0= 15 +10t -16t^2
Looking at the numbers, I'd prefer to use the QF so here it is:

I know that my answer will need to be positive since you can't have a negative value when dealing with time, so I will eliminate the positive sign from the "+or-" part leaving me with:

And I know that a= -16, b= 10, and c=15. So all that's left to do is substitute and solve.
There's a decent amount of math that would be difficult and sloppy for me to do over the computer, but all you need to do is solve the rest of the equation and you would get your answer.
Exact answer:

or rounded answer: ≈1.31 seconds.
Hope this helps!

Answer: x=sqrt10-2, x=-sqrt10-2
Step-by-step explanation: square root both sides of the equation.
x+2=sqrt10,-sqrt10
subtract 2 from both sides of the equation
x=sqrt10-2, -sqrt10-2
Answer:
Cos A = (√51)/ 10
Step-by-step explanation:
sin is opposite/hypothenuse
cos is adjacent/hypothenuse
Pythagorus theorem says that c² = a² + b²
10² = 7² + b²
b² = 100 - 49
b = ±√51
It doesn't make sense for a length to be a minus number therefore, we will use +√51.
Cos A = (√51)/ 10
Tell me if I am wrong.

Answer:
coordinate points
Step-by-step explanation:
variables: a symbol for a value we don't know yet. ex: x or y
numbers: I hope you know what they are cuz i dunno how to describe it ex: 2
coordinate points: a set of numbers that show position on a graph ex: (2,4)
operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing
