Chapter 4 - Quadratic Functions - 4.1 Quadratic Functions and Parabolas - 4.1 Exercises - Page 302: 29

Answer

A) See the graph below. B) $(5, 128.5)$ C) $H(2)=81.58$ D) $t= 10.20$ seconds

Work Step by Step

A) The graph of the function is shown below. $$\begin{aligned} H(t) &= -4.9t^2+50t+1,\ -1\leq x\leq 12, -40\leq y\leq 150 \end{aligned}$$ B) The vertex of the function is located at about $(5, 128.5)$. It describes the maximum height of the tennis ball after about $5$ seconds. C) From the graph we have $H(2)=81.58$.It is the height of the tennis ball 2 seconds later. D) The ball will hit the ground at about $t= 10.20$ seconds.
