Jason jumped off of a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends. His height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h(t) = –16t2 - 16t + 480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet. How long does it take Jason to hit the water?
30 seconds
-6 seconds
16 seconds
5 seconds
What is the y-intercept and what does it mean?
(1.4, 31); At 1.4 seconds the football is at a maximum height of 31 ft
6; The ball lands at 6 seconds
31; The max height of the ball
6; 6 feet is the height the ball is thrown from
