Question

Determine if the situation is Linear, Quadratic, or Exponential.A ball is shot from a cannon into the air with an upwardvelocity of 40 ft/sec. The equation that gives the height (h) ofthe ball at any time (t) is: h(t)= - 16t2 + 40ft + 1.5.o Linearo Quadratico Exponential

Answer 1

Notice that the equation provided for the height in terms of the time has the same form as the following equation :

`ax^2+bx+c`

which is the general form of a quadratic equation.

Answer: Quadratic
