Question

Bret threw a baseball up in the air. The following table represents the height f(t), in meters, of the ball above the ground at time t seconds:


Time (t)
(in seconds) Height f(t)
(in meters)
0 3
2 4
4 3
6 0


Which of the following is represented by the y-intercept of f(t)?
(A)The ball touches the ground after 6 seconds.
(B)The ball was thrown from a height of 3 meters.
(C)The ball reaches a maximum height of 4 meters.
(D)The ball reaches the maximum height in 2 seconds.

Answer 1

The answer is B. The y-intercept is the number on the y axis when x=0. you can see that when x=0, y=3, therefore B is the answer

Answer 2

The statement that represents the y-intercept of f(t) is (B)The ball was thrown from a height of 3 meters.

How to determine the y-intercept?

The table of values is given as:

t   f(t)

0 3

2 4

4 3

6 0

The y-intercept is when x = 0.

From the table, we have:

f(0) = 3

This means that: The ball was thrown from a height of 3 meters.
