Question

Two identical rubber balls are dropped from different heights. Ball 1 is dropped from a height of 115 feet, and ball 2 is dropped from a height of 269 feet. Use the function f(t)= -16t^2 + h to determine the current height, f(t), of a ball dropped from a height h, over the given time t.

Write a?function for the height of ball 2
h_2(t)= ____​

Answer 1

`h_2(t)=-16t^2+269`

Explanation:

Put the initial height of ball 2 into the given formula. The problem statement tells you "h" stands for the initial height, and that height is 269 feet.

`h_2(t)=-16t^2+269`
