h(t) = −16t2 + 110t + 72The function above models the height h, in feet, of an object above ground t seconds after being launched straight up in the air. What does the number 72 represent in the function?
Correct answer: A. The initial height, in feet, of the object
- A. The initial height, in feet, of the object
- B. The maximum height, in feet, of the object
- C. The initial speed, in feet per second, of the object
- D. The maximum speed, in feet per second, of the object
Explanation
Choice A is correct. The variable t represents the seconds after the object is launched. Since h(0) = 72, this, means that the height, in feet, at 0 seconds, or the initial height, is 72 feet.
