Question 144054: A baseball hit with initial upward velocity of 26 meters per second will reach a height (h) in meters after (t) seconds, as estimated by the rule h=2+26+t-4.9t^2
What is the height of the baseball when it is hit? (I need to see how do you figure this out)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
in the rule; 26 and t should be multiplied, not added __ h=2+26t-4.9t^2

the baseball is hit at time zero __ substituting zero for t gives h=2
__ 2 meters is about the height that a tall player would make contact with the ball
