The initial height of the ball is the y-intercept of the function
The initial height she threw the ball from is 35
The function is given as:
[tex]h(x) = -16x^2 + 3x +35[/tex]
Set x = 0.
So, we have:
[tex]h(0) = -16 * 0^2 + 3*0 +35[/tex]
Evaluate the exponent
[tex]h(0) = -16 * 0 + 3 * 0 + 35[/tex]
Evaluate the products
[tex]h(0) = 0 + 0 + 35[/tex]
Evaluate the sum
[tex]h(0)= 35[/tex]
Hence, the initial height she threw the ball from is 35
