Question

an object is thrown to the air. the equation for the object's height s at time t seconds approximately 15% each year as shown by a graph. H(t)=-4.9t^2+13.4t+24.9part A: what does the coefficient for the quadratic term represent? part B: what does the coefficient for the linear term represent? part C: what does the constant term represent?

Answer 1

We have the following:

`H(t)=-4.9t^2+13.4t+24.9`

A quadratic term is one that has the unknown (x) squared, the linear one is one that only has the literal with exponent 1 and the constant one is only a number with no unknown.

Therefore:

Part A

`-4.9`

Part B

`13.4`

Part C

`24.9`
