What is the vertical intercept of the following situation?

Question

The equation f(t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 24t + 8 represents the height of a bottle rocket launched into the air based on t, the number of seconds the rocket is in the air. The graph of the flight is shown below.

A. 17 Feet

B. 24 Feet

C. 8 Seconds

D. 8 Feet

Answer 1

D) 8 feet

h v t is like y v x, on the x y axes

vertical intercept is when x= 0, or t= 0, then h or y = 8 feet
