9. MODELING WITH MATHEMATICS

You drop a ball from a height of 98 feet. At the same time, your
friend throws a ball upward. The polynomials represent the heights (in
feet) of the balls after t seconds. Write a polynomial that represents the
distance between your ball and your friends ball after t seconds.
(hint: you are finding the difference between the two heights.)
