Question 267259: Suppose a ball thrown into the air has its height (in feet) given by the function
h(t) = 6 + 96t - 16t 2
Where t is the number of seconds after the ball is thrown.
1) Find h(1) and explain what it means.
2) Find the height of the ball 3 seconds after it is thrown.
3) Test other values of h(t) to decide if the ball eventually falls. When does the ball stop climbing?
Any help would help.....

If is some function defined in terms of an independent variable , then is the value of the function when the independent variable has a value of 1.

In your function is a height function. The value of the function is some number of feet of height. So is the height, in feet, at time 1 second.



You can do your own arithmetic.

The second part of your question is just asking you to find . Works the same way, just substitute 3 instead of 1.

Try and . You should get a result that
