Question

A basketball is thrown upwards. The height f(t), in feet, of the basketball at time t, in seconds, is given by the following function:

f(t) = -16t^2 + 44t + 12

Which of the following is a reasonable domain of the graph of the function when the basketball falls from its maximum height to the ground?

-0.25 < t < 2

0 < t < 3

1 < t < 2.4

1.4 < t < 3

Answer 1

You are given a function with height f(t), in feet, of the basketball at time t, in seconds:

f(t) = -16t^2 + 44t + 1

The reasonable domain of the graph of the function when the basketball falls from its maximum height to the ground is 0 < t < 3.
