A penny is thrown straight down from
a height of 200 feet. At the same time, a
paintbrush is dropped from a height of
100 feet. The polynomials represent the
heights (in feet) of the objects after
t seconds.
-16t²- 40t + 200
-16t² + 100
a. Write a polynomial that represents the distance between the penny and the
paintbrush after 7 seconds.
b. Interpret the coefficients of the polynomial in part (a).
