Question 1029979: Hi, I'm having trouble understanding and solving this problem:
The height of a coconut falling from a tree can be represented by the function h(t)=-16t^2 + 24, where h(t) is the height of the coconut, in feet, and t is time, in seconds.
What is the initial height, in feet, of the coconut?
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The vertical height (in feet) of any projectile is given by:
\ =\ -16t^2\ +\ v_ot\ +\ h_o)
Where 
is the initial vertical component of the velocity (positive = up, negative = down) and 
is initial height. Initial means the value of the parameter at time 
Evaluate your function at zero, that is \ =\ )
?

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
