Representa en el plano cartesiano las coor denadas de los siguientes puntos. A(- 5/2, 3)
B(1, - 3/4) .
C(3/2, 5/4)
D(- 7/3, - 1/2)
E(0, 7/2)
F(- 9/4, 0)

The general form of a quadratic equation is .

We want to know what is meant by the constant term, c.

If we let x=0, we have y=c. What does this mean?

y is the height and x is time, so y=c at x=0 means at time 0, the height of projectile is c, or, the initial height of the projectile is c.

c, thus, is the initial height.

ANSWER: "the initial height of the projectile"
