May's class is testing their egg protection contraptions by dropping them off the roof of their school. Use Geogebra or Desmos to graph the situation using the formula y=−16t2+40 . Which of the following correctly interprets the height of the school's roof?
The formula y=−16t2+40 represents the height of the egg protection contraption above the ground at time t when dropped from the roof of the school.
In this equation, -16 is the acceleration due to gravity in feet per second squared, and 40 represents the height of the roof of the school.
Therefore, the correct interpretation of the height of the school's roof is 40 feet.
