The function h=-t^2+95 models the path of a ball thrown by a boy where h represents height, in feet, and t represents the time in seconds that the ball is in the air. Assuming the boy lives at sea level where h=0 ft., which is a likely place the boy could have been standing when he threw the ball?
\n" ); document.write( "A. His back yard
\n" ); document.write( "B. in an underground cave
\n" ); document.write( "C. On a latter
\n" ); document.write( "D. On a bridge
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The equation:
\n" ); document.write( "h=-t^2+95
\n" ); document.write( "describes the height of the ball as a function of time (t).
\n" ); document.write( "When t is zero, we have:
\n" ); document.write( "h=-(0)^2+95
\n" ); document.write( "h = 95 feet
\n" ); document.write( "That is, before he threw the ball, the height is at 95 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "That is about the height of a bridge.
