The team mascot shoots a rolled T-shirt from a special T-shirt cannon to a section of people in the stands at a basketball game.
The T-shirt starts at a height of 8 feet when it leaves the cannon and 1 second later reaches a maximum height of 24 feet before coming back down to a lucky winner.
If the path of the T-shirt is represented by a parabola, which function could be used to represent the height of the T-shirt as a function of time, t, in seconds?
f(t) = –16(t – 1)2 + 24
f(t) = –16(t + 1)2 + 24
f(t) = –16(t – 1)2 – 24
f(t) = –16(t + 1)2 – 24

Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write any polynomial in standard form, we need to check the degree of each term, then write each term in order of degree, from highest to lowest, left to right.
The given polynomial is
Here, the combine degree of x and y in each term is 4.
If we arrange the terms according to the degree of x, then
If we arrange the terms according to the degree of y, then
Hence, the correct option is A.
