Safety Protocol: Initial Height Verification
During a safety incident review at a logistics facility, a technician uses the polynomial function to model the height of a component seconds after it is dropped from a storage rack. Based on this specific model, what is the initial height (in feet) of the component at the exact moment it is released?
