A short stop makes an error by dropping the ball. As the ball drops, its height (h) in feet, as a function of time (t) is modeled by h(t) = -16t2 + 3. A slow motion replay of the error shows the play at half speed. What function describes the height of the ball in the replay? (Hint: The function squares the time, so half the time is also squared in the new function.)

A)h(t) = -16(0.5t)2 + 1.5
B)h(t) = (-16t2 + 3)/2
C)h(t) = -16(t/2)2 + 3
D)h(t) = -8(t)2 + 3
