Question

2 points Jason's friend George jumped off a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends. His height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h(t)=-16t2+16t+480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet. a) What was George's height (disregard units in answer) after 5 seconds? *

Answer 1

we need to substitute t=5

`h(5)=16(5^2)+16(5)+480`
`h(5)=16(25^{})+16(5)+480`
`h(5)=400+80+480=960`

The George's height after 5 seconds was 960
