H=16t^2+181t+16
282=-16t^2+181t+16; note the editing, as it is usually -16t^2 for motion problems.
-16t^2+181t-266=0
quadratic formula
t=(-1/32)(-181+/- sqrt (181^2-4(-16)(-266)) sqrt term is 125.45
t=-55.55/-32=+1.73 sec
t=-306.45/-32=9.58 sec

For the case where 282=+16t^2+181t+16
16t^2+181t-266=0
t=(1/32)(-181+/- sqrt (181^2+4(266)(16)) sqrt term is 192.4
t=11.4/32 (0.35) and minus 11.67.
