Explanation of Solution
Given:
The height of a kangaroo’s hop in inches after t seconds can be modelled as
Calculation:
The Distributive Property is given by
Now, in the given polynomial the GCF is
So, factored out the GCF and use the distributive property
So, the factored form is
Now, substituting
Therefore, the height of the kangaroo’s hop after 1 second is
