- 8(a)Copy and complete the table of values: t (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4) and h (0.0, 8.8, 15, 18.8, __, 18.8, __, 8.8, 0.0).[2 marks]
- 8(b)(i)Draw the graph of h = 20t - 5t^2 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4. You may proceed as follows: Using a scale of 2 cm to represent 0.5 seconds, draw the horizontal t-axis for 0 ≤…[1 mark]
