Answer:
h(t) = - 16t² + 96t
Step-by-step explanation:
A soccer ball is kicked vertically from the ground with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec.
So, it initial height, [tex]h_0 = 0[/tex] ft. and initial velocity [tex]v_0 = 96[/tex] feet/sec.
Now, the quadratic function, h(t), that shows the height, in feet, of the soccer ball, t seconds after it was kicked will be given by the general equation
[tex]h(t) = - 16t^{2} + v_0t + h_0[/tex]
⇒ h(t) = - 16t² + 96t + 0
⇒ h(t) = - 16t² + 96t (Answer)
