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.) y = -0.38(t - 4)2 + 95
b.) y = -0.38(t - 2.5)2 + 59
c.) y = -6.08(t - 2.5)2 + 59
d.) y = -6.08(t - 4)2 + 95
