Question 869461: This is the word problem: Michael owns a trampoline. He wants to see
how high he can jump. The path of one jump can be modelled by the relation
h=4t^2+80t+12, where h represents Michaels height above the ground in centimetres
And t represents time in seconds,
a) What is the height of the trampoline?
b) What is the maximum height Michael reaches?
c) How long does it take Michael to reach this height?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Check your equation.
At time, t=0, Michael is at 12 feet.
At time, t=10, Michael is at 1212 feet and climbing.
Since you have no negative terms in the equation, the height is always increasing.
