Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.5 \ feet}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this function for the height (h) after t seconds:

h=-16t^2+25t+6

Seconds is t and we want to find the height after 1.5 seconds. Plug 1.5 in for t.

h= -16(1.5)^2+25(1.5)+6

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

Solve the exponent first.

  • (1.5)²= 1.5*1.5=2.25

h= -16(2.25)+25(1.5)+6

Multiply.

h= -36+25(1.5)+6

h= -36+37.5+6

Add.

h=1.5+6=7.5

This is already rounded to the nearest tenth, so it is the answer.

After 1.5 seconds, the basketball is at a height of 7.5 feet.
