Q. h(t)=56−4.9t2The function models h, the height of a flower pot in meters, t seconds after it falls from a fourth floor balcony. What is the height of the flower pot, in meters, 3 seconds after it falls?Choose 1 answer:(A) 51.1(B) 44.1(C) 36.4(D) 11.9
Identify function and representation: Identify the given function and what it represents.The function h(t)=56−4.9t2 models the height of a flower pot in meters, t seconds after it falls from a fourth floor balcony.
Substitute time into function: Substitute the given time into the function to find the height at that time.We need to find h(3), which means we will substitute t=3 into the function.h(3)=56−4.9(3)2
Calculate value of h(3): Calculate the value of h(3).h(3)=56−4.9(3)2h(3)=56−4.9(9)h(3)=56−44.1h(3)=11.9
