Question
Laura is tossing a softball into the air with an underhand motion. The distance of the ball above her hand at any
time is given by the formula:
2
h(t) = 96t – 16t for 0 <t < 6
where h(t) is the height of the ball (in feet) and t is the time (in seconds).
At what times, t, is the ball in her hands? Note: there are 2 different times.
The ball is in her hands at
seconds.
Preview
At what time, t is the ball at it's maximum height?
The ball is at it's max height after
seconds.
Preview
How high, h, is the ball at it's maximum height?
The ball's max height is
feet.
