Answer:
h = -4.542(t -0.61)² + 3.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of height is presumed to be quadratic, so we can use the vertex form and solve for the scale factor.
h = a(t -h)² +k . . . . . for vertex (h, k)
Filling in the given values, we can solve for "a":
1.61 = a(0 -0.61)² +3.3
(1.61 -3.3)/(0.61²) = a ≈ -4.542
An equation for the height is ...
h = -4.542(t -0.61)² +3.3
