Q. h(t)=−16.1t2+393t+6The function models h, the height of a firework shell in feet t seconds after launch. Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of the ordered pair (10,2326) ?
Identify Function and Pair: Step 1: Identify the function and the ordered pair.The function given is h(t)=−16.1t2+393t+6, which models the height of a firework shell in feet, t seconds after launch. The ordered pair given is (10,2326).
Interpret Ordered Pair: Step 2: Interpret the ordered pair.The ordered pair (10,2326) means that at t=10 seconds, the height of the firework shell is 2326 feet.
Verify by Plugging: Step 3: Verify by plugging t=10 into the function.Calculate h(10)=−16.1(10)2+393(10)+6.=−16.1(100)+3930+6=−1610+3930+6=2326 feet.
