The answer to this question will depend on the function f itself. Basically you will find the height in meters above the ground of the bird when it jumped when the time t=0s. This is substsitute every t in the function for a value of zero and that way you will get the bird's height at the time it jumped. If you were given a graph for this function, you can find the y-intercept of the graph and that will be the answer as well. The question could be written like this:
A baby bird jumps from a tree branch and flutters to the ground. The function "" models the bird's height (in meters) above the ground as a function of time (in seconds) after jumping. What is bird's height above the ground when it jumped.
Answer:
25m
Step-by-step explanation:
Once your function is given, you can substitute t=0 since 0s is the time measured at the moment the bird jumped. So our function will be:
So the height of the bird above the ground when it jumped is 25m in this particular function.
This is a polynomial of degree 2, and remember that complex roots always come in pairs; therefore, in a second degree polynomial you can only have 0 real roots and 2 complex roots, or 2 real roots and 0 complex roots. There is no way you can have 1 real root and 1 complex root because, as stated before, complex (non-real) roots always come in pairs; so the only way of having 1 real root is dumping the polynomial of degree 2 (
) by changing the 14 to 0. That way we'll left with 
which only has one real root:
