Given the table below:

time in sec    2      5      7

Height in m   34   38    24

Given that the height can be modeled by a quadratic in the form h(t) = at+ bt + c, where a, b, c are real #'s.

SHOW THAT 4a + 2b + c = 34

h(t) = at+ bt + c    

We know from 4a + 2b + c = 34, that h(t) = 34 and from the table t = 2

a(2)2 + b(2) + c = 34     so   4a + 2b + c = 34
