Question

PLEASE HELP! 20 POINTS 1) A ball is thrown starting at a time of 0 and a height of 2 meters. The height of the ball follows the function H(t)=−4.9t2+25t+2. What is the height of the ball at each second from 0 to 5? (I'll put a picture of the graph.) 2) Which expression could represent the height of a soccer ball as it is in the air after being kicked? (This is part 2 to question 1) A. −16t+9 B. −16t2+4t3 C. 9t2+25t D. −16t2+25t+1

Answer 1

Answer:

a or b

Step-by-step explanation:

it just looks like b or a

Answer 2

H(t) = -4.9t^2 + 25t + 2

Height is a function of time

plug in 0, 1,2,3,4, and 5 to find the height at 0, 1,2,3,4, and 5 seconds.

at t = 0

H(0) = -4.9(0)^2+25(0) + 2 = 2 meters

Repeat for T=1,2,3,4 and 5

Notice the ball peaks around t = 3 seconds and starts to descend.  

H(1) = (-4.9)(1^2) + 25(1) + 2 = 22.1 meters

H(2) = (-4.9)(2^2)+25(2)+2=32.4 meters

H(3) = 32.9 meters

H(4) = 23.6 meters

H(5) = 4.5 meters
