To determine the correct coordinate pairs for the function \( h = -6t^2 + 33t + 6 \), we need to evaluate the function at the specified \( t \) values, which are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Let's calculate the heights \( h \) at these points:

  1. For \( t = 0 \): \[ h(0) = -6(0)^2 + 33(0) + 6 = 6 \]

  2. For \( t = 1 \): \[ h(1) = -6(1)^2 + 33(1) + 6 = -6 + 33 + 6 = 33 \]

  3. For \( t = 2 \): \[ h(2) = -6(2)^2 + 33(2) + 6 = -24 + 66 + 6 = 48 \]

  4. For \( t = 3 \): \[ h(3) = -6(3)^2 + 33(3) + 6 = -54 + 99 + 6 = 51 \]

  5. For \( t = 4 \): \[ h(4) = -6(4)^2 + 33(4) + 6 = -96 + 132 + 6 = 42 \]

Now we summarize the results:

  • \( (0, 6) \)
  • \( (1, 33) \)
  • \( (2, 48) \)
  • \( (3, 51) \)
  • \( (4, 42) \)

Comparing these results to the provided options, we find:

  • The first proposal listed pairs that do not match the calculated heights.
  • The second proposal also does not match accurately.

Thus, neither response is correct based on the computed results of the function \( h = -6t^2 + 33t + 6 \) for the given values of \( t \). The correct corresponding pairs based on our calculations would be \( (0, 6), (1, 33), (2, 48), (3, 51), (4, 42) \).
