A quarterback throws an incomplete pass. the height of the football at time t is modeled by the equation h(t) = –16t2 40t 7. rounded to the nearest tenth, the solutions to the equation when h(t) = 0 feet are –0.2 s and 2.7 s. which solution can be eliminated and why? the solution –0.2 s can be eliminated because time cannot be a negative value. the solution –0.2 s can be eliminated because the pass was not thrown backward. the solution 2.7 s can be eliminated because the pass was thrown backward. the solution 2.7 s can be eliminated because a ball cannot be in the air for that long due to gravity.

The solution that can be eliminated is (a) the solution –0.2 s can be eliminated because time cannot be a negative value.

The equation is given as:

h(t)) = -16t^2 + 40t + 7

From the question

When h(t) = 0, the values of t are

t = -0.2 and t = 2.7

The t in the function h(t) represents time

As a general rule, time cannot be negative.

This means that the solution t = -0.2 can be eliminated

Hence, the solution that can be eliminated is (a) the solution –0.2 s can be eliminated because time cannot be a negative value.
