Question

The function h(t) = 200 – 17t represents the height of a ball (in feet) dropped from 400 feet after t seconds. What will the height of the ball be after 2.3 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

160.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The function h(t) = 200 – 17t represents the height of a ball (in feet) dropped from 400 feet after t seconds.

After 2.3 seconds,

h(t) = 200 – 17t

h(2.3) = 200 – (17 X 2.3)

= 200 - 39.1

=160.9 feet

After 2.3 seconds, the ball drops to a height of 160.9 feet.
