You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rock falls from a cliff that is 80 feet high.
The function h = -16t^2+80 gives the height of the rock after t seconds.
A. Graph the function
--------------------------------------------------
B. What values make sense for the domain?
-16t^2=-80
t^2 = 5
t = sqrt(5)
Domain: 0<= t <= sqrt(5)
--------------------------------------------------
C. What values make sense for the range?
Range: 0<= h <= 80

Anything to the left of the y-axis doesn't make any sense in the physical world because negative time doesn't make sense. Anything below the x-axis doesn't make any sense unless you have some little elves frantically digging a hole for the rock to fall into.
