Question

H(t) = 56 - 4.9t squared

The function above models h, the height of a flower pot in meters, t seconds after it falls from a
fourth floor balcony. What is the height of the flower pot, in meters, 3 seconds after it falls?
A 51.1
B 44.1
C 36.4
D 11.9

Answer 1

Answer: D 11.9

Explanation:

To find the height of the flower pot 3 seconds after it falls, we need to substitute t=3 in the given function H(t) and calculate the value.

H(3) = 56 - 4.9(3)^2

H(3) = 56 - 4.9(9)

H(3) = 56 - 44.1

H(3) = 11.9

Therefore, the height of the flower pot, in meters, 3 seconds after it falls is 11.9 meters.

The answer is option D, 11.9.
