Which equation would best help solve the following problem?

Rita hits a tennis ball with an initial velocity of 15 meters/sec. When she hits the ball, it is one meter above the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?

Question 1 options:

4.9t2 + 15t + 1 = 0


–4.9t2 + 15t = 1


–16t2+ 15t + 1 = 0


–4.9t2 + 15t + 1 = 0

If Rita hits the ball straight up, the 4th equation will be helpful.
