A player shoots a basketball from a height of 6 feet. The equation, , gives the height, h, of the basketball after t seconds. Describe the height, rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot, of the basketball after 1.5 seconds, assuming no other player touches the ball.

feet above the ground


Sagot :

It will be 6 - 4.875 = 1.125 feet above the ground or 1.1 feet (rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot).

All you need to do is to replace t in the given equation with 1.5:

[tex]h=-16(1.5)^2+25(1.5)+6[/tex]

h=-4.875

The value is negative so we can assume that after 1.5 seconds the ball will be 4.875 feet lower than it was shot from.

What is the height?

The measurement of someone or something from head to foot or from base to top.

But we also know that it was shot from a height of 6 feet,
