The height of a ball that is launched from the ground is given by taking -16 times the time in seconds (t) squared and adding it to the product of the time (t) and the initial speed of the ball. If the initial speed is 100 feet per second, which equation best represents the relationship between the time in seconds (t ) and the height of the ball (h )?
