The function h = -t2 + 95 models the path of a ball thrown by a boy where h represents height, in feet, and t represents the time, in seconds, that the ball is in the air. Assuming the boy lives at sea level where h = 0 ft, which is a likely place the boy could have been standing when he threw this ball?

A. his backyard

B. an underground cave

C. a ladder

D. a bridge

great !! we on same track :D

See that when you put t=0 on the equation, the initial ht. of the ball just before throwing is 95ft. Now, you imagine that 95 ft i= 31 metres.... could be given by a overhead bridge only.. also see that ht. decreases as time increases...
