Question 1014275: Good afternoon. I'm having trouble understanding how to solve 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?
Thank you.
