Question

ALGEBRA 1, SEM. 2

-----------------------------
A cannonball is shot straight up into the air. The height of the cannonball at time t is represented by the function f(t)=−16t2+50t+2 .

What does the 2 represent?


the time when the cannonball hits the ground

the maximum height of the cannonball

the initial velocity of the cannonball

the initial height of the cannonball

Answer 1

Answer:the initial height of the cannonball.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The formula is to calculate the overall height of the cannon ball.

the -16T62 is for the force of gravity, the 50t is for the velocity the ball travels, and the +2 is the initial height off the ground.

The answer would be: the initial height of the cannonball.
