s(t) = –16t² + 64t + 80

What will be the object's maximum height?

• 2 ft

• 80 ft

• 144 ft

• 64 ft

Rafael drops a ball from a third-story window. This equation represents the approximate height, h, in meters, of the ball above the ground after it falls for t seconds.

h = -5t² + 45

When is the ball at ground level?

• only at t = 0 seconds

• only at t = 3 seconds

• only at t = 9 seconds

• at both t = 0 seconds and t = 3 seconds
