The function h(t)=-16t^2+110t+72 models the height h, in feet, of an object above ground t seconds after being launched straight up in the air. what does the number 72 represent in the function?

The initial height of an object above ground before being launched straight up in the air

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

we know that

The number 72 represent the y-intercept of the function

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this problem

The value of h when the value of t is zero

Therefore

The initial height of an object above ground before being launched straight up in the air

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.
