The correct answer is option D which is the second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function that represents the maximum height of the baseball.
The polynomial having a degree of two or the maximum power of the variable in a polynomial will be 2 is defined as the quadratic equation and it will cut two intercepts on the graph at the x-axis.
The second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function represents the maximum height of the ball.
The height of a baseball hit from a bat is modeled by a quadratic function of time, h(t)
General form of h(t) will be -16x² + v(t) + h
Where v represents initial velocity and h represents the initial height
h(t) represents the height of the baseball
h(t) is negative so the height reaches the maximum
vertex (h,k) represents maximum height (k) when time t=h
So the second coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic function represents the maximum height of the ball.
