A soccer ball is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = - 16t^2 + 48t where t equals the time in seconds and the h(t) represents the height of the ball at time t seconds. What is the axis of symmetry, and what does it represent? Help please!!!

Answer:

x = 3/2

The axis of symmetry is located at the vertex,

which is the also the highest point in this problem...

the x component of the vertex can be calculated as -b/2a = -48/-32 = 24/16 = 6/4 = 3/2

x = 3/2
