A soccer ball is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = -16t2 + 48t where t equals the time in seconds and h(x) represents the height of the ball at time t seconds. What is the axis of symmetry and what does it represent?

t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground

t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 1.5 seconds to fall back to the ground

t = 3; it takes 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground

t = 3; it takes 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground

Respuesta :

axis of symmetry shows the min/max. its a max in this case and its at t=1.5

so the ans is t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 1.5 seconds to fall back to the ground

The axis of symmetry is used to determine the maximum  height reached by tha ball. t= 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height

Axis of symmetry of function

Given the height of a ball modeled by the equation expressed as:

h(t) = -16t^2+ 48t

The axis of symmetry is used to determine the maximum  height reached by tha ball

v(t) = dh./dt = -32t + 48

32t = 48

t = 48/32

t =1.5seconds

Hence t= 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height
