Answer 1

The airplane’s altitude was 400 feet at 8:00 a.m. is the best describes

the meaning of the statement h(0)=400 ⇒ answer a

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of an airplane is described by a certain function h ,

where h(t) is the altitude in feet of the airplane t minutes after

8:00 a.m.

That means:

1. The altitude of the airplane can be calculated by using this function

   at any time after 8:00 a.m.

2. At 8.00 a.m. the value of t = 0

3. h(0) is the initial altitude of the airplane

∵ The altitude of the airplane h at any time t after 8:00 a.m. can be

   calculated from the function h(t)

∵ At 8:00 a.m. t = 0

∵ h(0) = 400

∴ The altitude of the airplane at t = 0 is 400

∴ The initial altitude of the airplane is 400

The airplane’s altitude was 400 feet at 8:00 a.m.
