Ryan throws a tennis ball straight up into the air. The ball reaches its maximum height at 2 seconds. The approximate height of the ball x seconds after being thrown is shown in the table. Which equation models the motion of the ball?

y = –17(x)(x – 4)
y = –16(x)(x – 4)
y = –16(x – 2)2 + 68
y = –17(x – 2)2 + 68

r(0,90)(x,y) . t(-5,0)

last option

step-by-step explanation:

∆def to ∆d"e"f"

- rotate 90 counterclockwise degrees

- then translated 5 to the left (x --> x - 5)

answer is the last option

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

central angle of a triangle has the same measure as its intercepted arc.
