If u have a open circle, then the inequality has no equal sign. But if it is a closed circle, the inequality has an equal sign.
Shading to the left means " less then " .
Shading to the right means " greater then " .
(1) u have an open circle on -7 with shading to the left....
x < -7
(2) u have a closed circle on 4.5 with shading to the left....
x < = 4.5 (thats less then or equal)
(3) u have an open circle on -5 with shading to the right...
x > -5
(4) u have an open circle on 1.5 with shading to the right...
x > 1.5
Here, Function: h(t)= -16t² + 70t + 40
So, put the value of t, (time at which you want to calculate the height)
h(1) = -16(1)² + 70(1) + 40
h(1) = -16 + 110
h(1) = 94
Now, h(2) = -16(2)² + 70(2) + 40
h(2) = -64 + 180
h(2) = 116
h(3) = -16(3)² + 70(3) + 40
h(3) = -144 + 250
h(3) = 106
In short, Your height depends on time, and at each time it would be different, can be expressed by the coordinates on a Graph: (1, 94) (2, 116) (3, 106)
Hope this helps!
