From a clifftop over the ocean 130 m above sea level, an object was shot straight up into the air with an initial vertical speed of 284.2 . On its way down it missed the cliff and fell into the ocean. Its height (above sea level) as time passes can be modeled by the quadratic functionf, where f(t) = -4.9t² + 284.2t + 130. Here t represents the number of seconds since the object's release, and f(t) represents the object's height (above sea level) in meters.
