    on the deck of their house.
    Tane misses the ball, and it falls to the ground.
    For copyright reasons,
    The path of the ball can be modelled by the equation this resource cannot be
    h = – t2 + 2t + 8, reproduced here.
    where t is the time in seconds since the ball is thrown,
    and h is the height in metres above the ground at any
    time t.

    (i) How long after it is thrown, will the ball hit the ground?
    Explain what you are calculating at each step of your answer.

    (ii) How much higher does the ball rise above the height of the point from which it is
    thrown?
    Explain what you are calculating at each step of your answer.
