Accepted Solution

A:
The airplane’s altitude was 400 feet at 8:00 a.m. is the best describesthe meaning of the statement h(0)=400 ⇒ answer aStep-by-step explanation:The altitude of an airplane is described by a certain function h , where h(t) is the altitude in feet of the airplane t minutes after 8:00 a.m.That means:1. The altitude of the airplane can be calculated by using this function    at any time after 8:00 a.m.2. At 8.00 a.m. the value of t = 03. h(0) is the initial altitude of the airplane∵ The altitude of the airplane h at any time t after 8:00 a.m. can be    calculated from the function h(t)∵ At 8:00 a.m. t = 0∵ h(0) = 400∴ The altitude of the airplane at t = 0 is 400∴ The initial altitude of the airplane is 400The airplane’s altitude was 400 feet at 8:00 a.m.Learn more:You can learn more about functions in brainly.com/question/10382470#LearnwithBrainly
