The average amateur golfer can hit a ball with an initial velosicty of 31.3 meteres per second. If hte ball is hit straight up, the height can be modeled by the equation h=-4.9t^2+31.3t, where h is the height of hte ball, in meters, after t seconds.
a. Graph the equation.
b. At what height is the ball hit?
c. What i the maximum height of the ball?
d. How long did it take for hte ball to hit the ground?
e. State a reasonable range and domain for this situation.
