Mark hits a tennis ball into the air. He uses the equation shown to approximate the height, h, in feet, of the ball t seconds after he hits it.
h = -1612 + 88t + 4
What does the 4 represent in Mark's equation?
A.
The ball was in the air for a total of 4 seconds.
B.
The ball landed 4 feet away from where Mark hit it.
C.
The ball was 4 feet above the ground when Mark hit it.
D.
The ball reached its maximum height 4 seconds after Mark hit it.

Based on the situation in part a, the width of a rectangular garden is x feet, and its length is 5 feet more than twice its width. the right side of the equation, g(x) = 2x2 − 13x + 6, can be factored to g(x) = (2x − 1)(x − 6). this function could represent an inner region of the garden from the first equation, such as a vegetable garden with a border around it. the length of this inner garden would be 2x − 1 feet, and the width would be x − 6, which would leave a 3-foot border around the garden. part d what is the value of g(8) for the function g(x) in part c? what does this value mean in the context of the situation you described in part c?
