During halftime at the Cavs game, a slingshot launches T-shirts at the
crowd. A t-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 72 ft/s.
The T-shirt is caught 37 ft above the court. The function
y = -16x^2 + 72x + 5 gives the T-shirt's height y, in feet,
after x seconds
What is the starting height of the t-shirt?

the 3rd on is correct

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
