For this case we have the following expression: h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 64t + 80 For t = 0 we have: h (0) = -16 (0) ^ 2 + 64 (0) + 80 h (0) = -0 + 0 + 80 h (0) = 80 feet Therefore the number 80 represents the initial height of the rocket Answer: the 80 in the expression represented: the initial height of the rocket
