At a track meet, one of the competitors throws a javelin. The function
h
(
s
)
=
−
0.08
s
2
+
0.5
s
+
5.9
models the javelin’s distance from the ground, in feet, after it has traveled a horizontal distance for
s
seconds.
What is
h
(
5
)
and what does it mean to the context of the problem?
h
(
5
)
=
6.4
and it means that after
5
seconds, the height of the javelin is
6.4
feet.
h
(
5
)
=
6.4
and it means that after
6.4
seconds, the height of the javelin is
5
feet.
h
(
5
)
=
10.4
and it means that after
5
seconds, the height of the javelin is
10.4
feet.
h
(
5
)
=
6.4
and it means that after
10.4
seconds, the height of the javelin is
5
feet.
