For a field goal a football is kicked vertically from the ground with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec (questions in description)

Question

a) write a quadratic function h(t) that shows the height in feet of the football t seconds after it was kicked use the general equation h(t)=-16t^2+vot+ho where box is the initial velocity and go is the initial height

B) graph h(t) am the coordinate plane and label the axes 

If you could answer this quickly that would be super helpful

Thank you and have a good day ❤️

Answer 1

a) You are already given the general equation of the height of the ball, h(t), at any time, t:

-16t² + v₀t + h₀ where v₀ is the initial velocity and h₀ is the initial height

-16t² + 96t + 0 v₀ is given and h₀ is ground level, or '0'.

h(t) = -16t² + 96t

b) To graph this, make a table for the height, h(t), for various times, t. The values of h(t) will be your "y"

coordinates and values of t will be your "x" coordinates.

Hope this helps!
