the function below represents the height, in feet, of a basketball x seconds after being hit by a batter
h(x)=-16x^2+100x+3.8
what does the y-intercept represent?
a. the initial height at which the basketball was hit
b. the initial velocity at which the baseball was hit
c. the speed at which the baseball travels
d. the amount of time it takes for the baseball to hit the ground
a. the initial height at which the basketball was hit
The y-intercept of the function represents the initial height at which the basketball was hit because it is the height (y) when x (time) is equal to 0.
