Question 442971
A cat jumps off a chair 2ft off the ground with an initial velocity of 3ft/s. Use the formula below where t= time (in seconds), v= initial velocity, and h= initial height:

{{{h(t) = -16t^2+vt+s}}}

A) Write an equation that gives the height (in feet) of the cat as a function of time (in seconds) since it jumps.

h(t) =-16t^2+3t+2

B) What is the height of the cat after 0.25 seconds?

h(0.25) = -16(0.25)^2+3(0.25)+2
h(0.25) = -16(0.0625+0.75+2
h(0.25) = -1+2.75
h(0.25) = 1.75 ft
