Step 1  An angry bird is shot into the sky which can be modeled by the function  h(t)=−0.2t2+1.3t+15  where h― is height in feet and t― is time in second. Write the sentence and fill in the bla with the appropriate words.  Step 2  The variables as an order pair. (h, t)  Step 3  h(t)=−0.2t2+1.3t+15  When the bird was launched we can find the height by taking t=0  h=−0.2(0)2+1.3+15  h=15
