The height of a projectile in feet is given by the formula h = −16t2 + 96t + 10, where t represents time in seconds. Calculate the height of the projectile at 1½ seconds.
=================================
h(t) = -16t^2 + 96t + 10
Sub 1.5 for t
h(1.5) = -16*1.5^2 + 96*1.5 + 10 = -36 + 144 + 10
h(1.5) = 118 feet
========================
How is that a "word question?"
You're given an equation and you sub 1.5 for t.
