Question

Which explanation provides the best real-world scenario of the graph?

If an object is dropped from a height of –16 feet, the function h(t) = –16t2 + 120 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

If an object is dropped from a height of 120 feet, the function h(t) = –16t2 + 120 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

If an object is dropped from a height of 120 feet, the function h(t) = –16t2 – 120 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

Answer 3

Well it starts at 120. So the object would be dropped from 120 feet.

It looks like B -16t^2 + 120 since it starts at 120, and it falls downwards.
