MEDAL AND FAN! QUESTION BELOW
26 = -16t^2 +4t+26
simplify that then best you can.
Let h = 26, and solve for t.
So you then would have 0 = -16t^2 +4t, right?
in choices it says sec, so I thought it is trigonometric sec (x) :)
Just substitute the given answers and check if h will be 26.. that's the easiest way!!
THANKS GUYS! idk who to medal though xD
16t^2 - 4t =0 t(16t - 4) = 0 t= 1/4
let me show you something here very quick. \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16t^2+4t+26 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16t^2+4t-4+30 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16(t^2-\frac{1}{4}t+\frac{1}{4})+30 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16(t-\frac{1}{2})^2+30 }\)
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {y} =a(x-h)^2+k~~~~~~~\color{black}{\rm{center:~~(x,h)}} }\)
Sorry for the late reply, but your function is a vertical, ∩-shaped parabola.
