Ferdinand is playing golf. He hits a shot off the tee box that has a height modeled by the function h(t) = –16t2 + 80t,
where h(t) is the height of the ball, in feet, and t is the time
in seconds it has been in the air. The graph that models
the golf ball's height over time is shown below.

When does the ball reach its maximum height?

What is the maximum height of the ball?

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.

Is the point (0, 8) on the x-axis or y-axis? how do you know?

Cole says the distance between points (-5,0) and (0,-5)is 5 units. is he correct? explain why or why not.
