Snowball Tossing! Let h(t) be the height of a snowball tossed from the top of a building. We will use the function h(t) = -16t² +32t + 128 to model the situation. The graph of this function will look like this: Snowball Thrown from Rooftop Height (ft) 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 D 0 a) What is the practical meaning of the value 128 for this function? How about the point at 4 seconds? b) What effect does the sign of the coefficient -16 have on the graph of the function? c) If we are given a quadratic function in standard form, can we find any value for x given y. or vice versa?
