Question

A ball is thrown into the air from the top of a building. The height, h (t), of the ball

above the ground t seconds after it is thrown can be modeled by the function
h (t) = -16t+64t + 80. Explain the meaning of h (0) = 80 in the context of
the problem.

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

h(0) is the height of the ball when it is thrown. h(0) = 80 ft. The top of the building is 80 ft. above ground.
