Question

If someone can answer this, you are BEYOND SMARTT!!! But tell me how to do it too!!!!

Answer 1

Look at all the choices

we know that at t = 0, the height of the rock is 16

choices H and I do not have a value of 16 at t = 0.

H: h(0) = -5.2(0)² + 24(0) - 12 = -12
I: h(0) = -4.2(0)² + 26(0) - 20 = -20

so we are left with F and G

if we take choice F and plug in t = 1
h(1) = -4.7(1)² - 25(1) + 16 = -13.7
if we take choice G and plug in t = 1
h(1) = -4.7(1)² + 25(1) + 16 = 36.3

only choice G works for us since it has 36.3 at t = 1

you could have also put these points in a graphing calculator and then use the quadratic regression feature to get an equation that will model this data
