The height h in feet of a baseball on Earth after t seconds can be modeled by the function h(t) = -16(t - 1.5)2 + 36, where -16 is a constant in ft/s2 due to Earth's gravity. The gravity on Mars is only 0.38 times that on Earth. If the same baseball were thrown on Mars, it would reach a maximum height 59 feet higher and 2.5 seconds later than on Earth. Write a height function for the baseball thrown on Mars.

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 sh

I believe you plug in the height the ball would reach on mars and the new time it would take. Im not entirely sure but look in your book if you have one i know you must use the information given (new gravity, new height, and new time)
