The height of a ball thrown in the air can be modeled by the function h(x) = -16x2 + 32x + 6, where h(x) represents the height in feet of the ball after x seconds. The graph of this function is shown to the right
a. What do the verte, y-intercept, and x-intercept represent?
b. If the ball is thrown from a height of 10 ft. how will this transform the graph?
c. About how much longer will the ball be in the air when it is thrown from 10 ft compared to when it is thrown from 6 ft?
(Hint: You may want to use a graphing calculator to compare the two graphs
a. What does the vertex represent?
O A. The time (in seconds) it takes the ball to hit the ground
OB. The distance in feet) between the ball's maximum height and the height from which the ball is thrown
OC. The height (in feet) from which the ball is thrown
OD. The maximum height (in feet) reached by the ball and the time at which that occurs
