michael accidently dropped his conducting baton off the top of the bleachers while performing with the marching band at a football game. the bleachers are 144 feet high, and the baton landed after 3 seconds. complete the table modeling the height of the baton, h(t), after t seconds

t	h(t)
1	128
2	80
	0

Explanation:

Step1: Find h(0)

At \( t = 0 \) seconds, the baton is at the top of the bleachers, so the height \( h(0) \) is the height of the bleachers, which is 144 feet.

Step2: Find t when h(t) = 0

We know the baton landed after 3 seconds, so when \( h(t) = 0 \), \( t = 3 \).

Answer:

For \( t = 0 \), \( h(0)=\boldsymbol{144} \); for \( h(t) = 0 \), \( t=\boldsymbol{3} \)
