Hello,

In red : the falling volleyball h_1=14-16t^2

In Bleue : the player's jump h_2=7+24t-16t^2

If t=0 h_1=14

Answer:

The volleyball is 14 feet above the ground at the instant the pl;ayer begins her jump.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two situation of system of models.

[tex]\text{The height (h) of a falling volleyball as function of time (t):}h(t)=14-16t^2[/tex]

[tex]\text{The height (h) of the hands of a player as function of time (t):}h(t)=7+24t-16t^2[/tex]

We need to find the height of ball above the ground at the instant the player begins jump.

At t=0, player begins jump.

We put t=0 into [tex]h(t)=7+24t-16t^2[/tex]

Height of player hand at t=0 , h=7 feet.

Now we will set t=0 for first model.  

[tex]h(0)=14-16\times 0^2\Rightarrow 14[/tex]

Thus, The volleyball is 14 feet above the ground at the instant the pl;ayer begins her jump.

B is correct.
