Asoccer ball is kicked upward from a hill and then falls to the ground. the height, in feet, of the ball after t sec is modeled by the function h(t) = –16t2 + 26t +12. what is the initial height of the ball? –16 ft –12 ft 12 ft 22 ft mark this and return

For this case we have the following function:

Where,

t: is the time in seconds

h (t): is the height as a function of time

The initial height occurs when t = 0.

We have then:

The initial height of the ball is:

12 ft

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !
