The height of a baseball hit from a bat is modeled by a quadratic function of time, h(t). What does the second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function represent?
the minimum height of the baseball
the time at which the baseball hits the ground
the time at which the baseball hits the maximum height
the maximum height of the baseball


Sagot :

The correct answer is option D which is the second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function that represents the maximum height of the baseball.

What is a quadratic equation?

The polynomial having a degree of two or the maximum power of the variable in a polynomial will be 2 is defined as the quadratic equation and it will cut two intercepts on the graph at the x-axis.

The second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function represents the maximum height of the ball.

The height of a baseball hit from a bat is modeled by a quadratic function of time, h(t)

General form of h(t) will be -16x² + v(t) + h

Where v represents initial velocity and h represents the initial height

h(t) represents the height of the baseball

h(t) is negative so the height reaches the maximum

vertex (h,k) represents maximum height (k) when time t=h

So the second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function represents the maximum height of the ball.
