If you use this equation then you say that the ground is h=0 and solve as a quadratic.
The quadratic formula is (-b±<span>√(b^2-4ac))/2a when an equation is in the form ax^2 + bx + c
So the equation you have been given would be -16t^2-15t-151 = 0
This equation has no real roots which leads me to believe it is incorrect.
This is probably where your difficulty is coming from, it's a mistake.
The equation is formed from S=ut+(1/2)at^2+(So) where (So) is the initial height and S is the height that you want to find.
In this case you want S = 0.
If the initial height is +151 and the initial velocity and acceleration are downwards (negative) and the initial velocity (u) is -15 and the initial acceleration is -32 then you get the equation S=-15t-16t^2+151
Solving this using the quadratic formula gives you t = 2.64 or t = -3.58
Obviously -3.58s can't be the answer so you're left with 2.64 seconds.
Hope this makes sense.

To find a specific percent of the number, first find the smallest scale division of the designated percent, or 1%. To find 1% of 13,530, divide it by 100, which yields 135.30. Then, multiply this 135.30 by 6 to find 6%. This comes out to 811.8.
Hope this helps.
X3 + 4x2 -9x -36
[x3 + 4x2] -9 [ x+4]
take x2 common factor from first praket
x2[x+4] -9 [x+4]
= [x+4] *[x2 -9]
so the zeros of this equation are -4 , 3, -3
Maria has 19 hats.
b=beth
m=maria
Equations: 2b+5=m
b+m=26
plug in 2b+5 for m in equation 2: b+2b+5=26
add like terms: 3b+5=26
subtract 5 from both sides: 3b=21
Divide 3 from both sides: b=7
now plug in 7 for b: 7+m=26
subtract 7 from both sides: m=19
m=Maria
therefore Maria has 19 hats
Plot those coordinates on a graph and then join them together. if they do no join in a line its not linear.
