Transformation of Functions · Try It 1

The function $h (t) = - 4.9 t^{2} + 30 t$ gives the height $h$ of a ball (in meters) thrown upward from the ground after $t$ seconds. Suppose the ball was instead thrown from the top of a 10-m building. Relate this new height function $b (t)$ to $h (t),$ and then find a formula for $b (t) .$
