Modeling with Quadratic Equations

Question 4 • AZ-College Prep Math B

A softball pitcher tosses a ball straight upward from a height of 3 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 50 feet per second. The acceleration due to gravity is –16 ft/s².Which quadratic equation represents the height of the ball above the ground after t seconds?h(t) = at2 + vt + h0

Answer
A
h(t) = 50t2 – 16t + 3
B
h(t) = –16t2 + 50t + 3
C
3 = –16t2 + 50t + h0
D
3 = 50t2 – 16t + h0
