The height of the basketball at 0.5 seconds will be = 26.5
A polynomial equation is an equation where a polynomial is set equal to zero. i.e., it is an equation formed with variables, non-negative integer exponents, and coefficients together with operations and an equal sign. It has different exponents. The highest one gives the degree of the equation.
Example of a polynomial equation is: 2x2 + 3x + 1 = 0, where 2x2 + 3x + 1 is basically a polynomial expression which has been set equal to zero, to form a polynomial equation.
According to the given equation if we put value in it we will follow the following steps -
[tex]h(t) = - 16t^{2} + 35t+ 5\\ h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^{2} + 35(0.5) + 5\\h(0.5) = -16(0.25) + 17.5 + 5\\h(0.5) = 4 + 17.5 + 5\\h(0.5) = 26.5\\[/tex]
Therefore, the height of the basketball at 0.5 s will be 26.5

Answer:
Is the question supposed to be (1.5), if so then the answer would be 21.5
Step-by-step explanation:
ht=-16t^2+35t+5
h(1.5)=-16(1.5)^2+35(1.5)+5
=21.5
