Q. The function models h(t)=−16.1t2+393t+6, 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 Variables: Step 1: Identify the function and variables.The function h(t)=−16.1t2+393t+6 models the height of a firework shell in feet, t seconds after launch. Here, t represents time in seconds, and h(t) represents height in feet.
Interpret Ordered Pair: Step 2: Interpret the ordered pair (10,2326). The ordered pair (10,2326) means that at t=10 seconds, the height of the firework 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.
