Question

Use the graph to estimate the height of a jugglers ball that has been in the air for 1.5 seconds

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of a jugglers ball that has been in the air for 1.5 seconds is 6.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given height equation as

$h=-16t^2+25t+5$

where

h is the height in feet of a Juggler's ball after t seconds

now, we can plug t=1.5

$h=-16(1.5)^2+25(1.5)+5$

we can solve for h

$h=42.5-16\cdot \:1.5^2$

$h=42.5-36$

$h=6.5$

So,

The height of a jugglers ball that has been in the air for 1.5 seconds is 6.5 feet
