The team mascot shoots a rolled T-shirt from a special T-shirt cannon to a section of people in the stands at a basketball game. The T-shirt starts at a height of 8 feet when it leaves the cannon and 1 second later reaches a maximum height of 24 feet before coming back down to a lucky winner.

If the path of the T-shirt is represented by a parabola, which function could be used to represent the height of the T-shirt as a function of time, t, in seconds?

f (t) = - 16 (t - 1) 2 + 24

f (t) = - 16 (t + 1) 2 + 24

f (t) = - 16 (t - 1) 2 - 24

f (t) = - 16 (t + 1) 2 - 24
