During one game, the Dallas Cowboys punter was called upon to punt the ball eight times. On one of these punts, the punter struck the ball at his own 30-yard line. The height, h of the ball above the field as a function of time , t, in seconds can be partially modeled by the following table: t
0
0.6
1.2
1.8
2.4
3.0
h(t)
2.50
28.56
43.10
46.12
37.12
17.60

Use your graphing calculator, to obtain a quadratic regression function for these data. Round the values of a, b, and c to four decimal places.
a.
h (t) = negative 15.9752 t cubed + 52.8875 t + 2.5536
c.
h (t) = 15.9752 t squared + 52.8875 t + 2.5536
b.
h (t) = negative 15.9752 t squared + 52.8875 t + 2.5536
d.
h (t) = negative 15.9752 t squared minus 52.8875 t + 2.5536
