The curve begins at zero, midway between four and six, then moves upwards until a point midway between zero point five and one, fourteen, then moves downwards until stopping at the t-axis at a point between one point five and two, zero.
What is the meaning of the t-intercept?
The bean bag is released when t equals zero.
The bean bag is thrown from a height of 5 feet.
