The equation y = (-16t – 2)(t-1) represents the height in feet of a beach ball thrown by a child as a function of time, `t`, in seconds. from What height is the beach ball thrown? explain or show your reasoning

2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The height from which the beach ball was thrown happens when t = 0. So setting t = 0 to get y, we get

y = [-16(0) - 2](0 - 1)

= (-2)(-1)

= 2 ft

Therefore, the ball was thrown from a height of 2 ft.

13

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !
