A player kicks a soccer ball resting on the ground. The height of the ball, h(t), in feet, after t seconds can be represented by the function h(t) = -16++96t. Use this information to answer the two questions that follow.
Part A: What is the total elapsed time, in seconds, from the time the ball is kicked until it reaches ground level again?
seconds
Part B: When will the ball reach its maximum height?
After
seconds

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
