Modeling with Quadratic Equations

Question 84071 • Algebra III A

An object is launched into the air. The projectile motion of the object can be modeled using the functionh(t) = –16t2 + 72t + 5, where t is the time in seconds since the launch and h(t) represents the height in feet of the object after t seconds. What is true about the projectile motion of this object? Check all that apply.The initial height is 5 feet.The initial velocity of the object is –72 feet/second.The object will hit the ground after approximately 4.57 seconds.After 3 seconds, the object is 173 feet high.At t = 0, h(t) = 0.

Answer
