Jason jumped off of a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends. His height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h(t) = –16t² + 16t + 480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet. How long does it take Jason to hit the water?

• -16 seconds

• -6 seconds

• 0 seconds

• 5 seconds
