SOLUTION: A baseball hit with initial upward velocity of 26 meters per second will reach a height (h) in meters after (t) seconds, as estimated by the rule h=2+26+t-4.9t^2 What is the hei

Question 144054: A baseball hit with initial upward velocity of 26 meters per second will reach a height (h) in meters after (t) seconds, as estimated by the rule h=2+26+t-4.9t^2
What is the height of the baseball when it is hit? (I need to see how do you figure this out)

in the rule; 26 and t should be multiplied, not added __ h=2+26t-4.9t^2

the baseball is hit at time zero __ substituting zero for t gives h=2
__ 2 meters is about the height that a tall player would make contact with the ball
