Mountain lions are capable of jumping high into the air. If a mountain lion jumps 9 feet off the ground and then comes back down, its height above the ground varies according to the equation h=-162 +24t , where t = time in seconds and h = height in feet. The right side of this equation can be factored to get the equivalent equation h= -8t(2t - 3).
What do the factors - 8t and 2t - 3 mean in this situation?
The mountain lion leaves the ground at time t = 1.5 and lands at time t= 8.
O The mountain lion leaves the ground at time t = 1.5 and reaches its maximum height at time t = 8.
The mountain lion leaves the ground at time t = 0 and reaches its maximum height at time t = 1.5.
The mountain lion leaves the ground at time t= 0 and lands at time t = 1.5.
