Question

Suppose an elevator starts at the top floor of a high-rise building at a height of

450
450 feet above the ground floor and descends without stopping at a constant rate of
15
15 feet per second.

​Write a function that describes the height,
ℎ
h, of the elevator after
�
t seconds in both general and factored form.

General form:
ℎ
(
�
)
=
h(t)=

Factored form:
ℎ
(
�
)
=
h(t)=

Answer 1

General form: h(t) = 450 - 15t

Factored form: h(t) = 15(30 - t)
