The function h is given by h ( t ) = ( 1 − t ) ( 8 + 16 t ) models the height of a ball in feet, t seconds after it is thrown.

Where are the zeros of the function?

Answer:

  • zeros: t = 1, t = -1/2
  • no: the domain of the function is t ≥ 0
  • 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are the values of t that make the factors zero.

  1 -t = 0   ⇒   t = 1

  8 +16t = 0   ⇒   t = -8/16 = -1/2

The equation is used to model height after the ball is thrown. We don't expect it to be a good model before the ball is thrown (t < 0), so the zero in that region is extraneous.

Only the positive zero is in the function's domain, so that is the only one that is meaningful.

__

When t = 0 (at the time the ball is thrown), the function value is ...

  h(0) = (1 -0)(8 +0) = 8

The ball is thrown from a height of 8 feet.
