6. Graph this on your calculator.
When a soccer ball is kicked into the air, how long will the ball take to hit the ground? The height h in feet of the ball after t seconds can be modeled by the quadratic function h(t) = –16t2 + 32t. In this situation, the value of the function represents the height of the soccer ball. When the ball hits the ground, the value of the function is zero.
