Question

A volleyball is served by a 6-foot player at an initial upward velocity of 33 feet per second. The situation is modeled by the equation h = -16t^2 + 33t + 6. What does the variable h represent? a) Distance traveled by the volleyball b) Height of the player c) Height of the volleyball d) Time elapsed since the serve

Answer 1

In the equation \( h = -16t^2 + 33t + 6 \), the variable \( h \) represents the height of the volleyball at time \( t \). Therefore, the correct answer is:

c) Height of the volleyball
