To determine the correct coordinate pairs for the function h=6t2+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=6t2+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).
