Question

A toy rocket is launched straight up from the top of a building. The function that models the height as a function of time is h(t)=-16^2+200t+50. At what height was the rocket launched?

Answer 1

Answer: 50 ft

Explanation:

The correct function is h(t)=-16t^2+200t+50.

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to replace t =0 in the function given:

h(t)=-16t^2+200t+50.

h (0) = -16t^2+200t+50.

h(0) = 50

When the time is 0, the rocket is at the top of the building.

The rocket was launched from a 50 ft height.
