Question

The girls wanted to ride a more exciting roller coaster. They had to climb the stairs for the next ride. The height of this coaster during the first 10 seconds can be determined by h(t) = x³ - 7x² + 9x + 27 where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet

a. What is the height of this coaster when t = 0 seconds? What does it mean?

Answer 1

h(0) = 27 feet

h(0) is the height of the roller coaster before it starts.
