Question

The function h = -t2 + 95 models the path of a ball thrown by a boy where h represents height, in feet, and t represents the time, in seconds, that the ball is in the air. Assuming the boy lives at sea level where h = 0 ft, which is a likely place the boy could have been standing when he threw this ball?

A. an underground cave
B. a bridge
C. a ladder
D. his backyard

Answer 1

Answer: B. A Bridge

Explanation:

h = -t^2 + 95

h = -(t)^2 + 95

h = -(0)^2 + 95

h = 0 + 95

h = 95

Answer 2

95 feet above sea level

That is on a bridge. Option B
