Answer:

first choice

Explanation:

First, observe the axis.

The graph has labeled:

vertical axe as h (hight) and

horizontal axe as t (time).

Second, observe on the graph that the object is dropped from the height 120 feet because at the point t = 0 (when the drop did not start yet) the height is h = 120.

→We can eliminate the last choice that said "object is dropped from -16 feet"

Third, the equations for the hight of the object after t seconds are when the object is dropped from 120 feet are:

h(t) = -16t² + 120

if t= 0 then hight should be 120

h(t) = -16·0² + 120 = 120 ✅

and

h(t) = -16t² - 120

if t= 0 then hight should be 120

h(t) = -16·0² - 120 = - 120 ❌

Eliminate the second choice that said at t=0 , h(t) = -120

The first choice is the correct one
