Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Monica built a remote-controlled, toy airplane for a science project. To test the plane, she launched it from the top of a building. The plane traveled a horizontal distance of
50 feet before landing on the ground. A quadratic function which models the height of the plane, in feet, relative to the ground, at a horizontal distance of x feet from the building

Since the domain represents

the airplane while it was in the air, the values of the domain should be restricted to the

Answer 1

• a horizontal distance of x feet from the building
• [0, 50]

Explanation:

The problem statement tells you that x represents the horizontal distance in feet that the airplane is from the building. The domain is the set of useful values of x, which will be from 0 to 50 feet. Values of x less than 0 or more than 50 make no sense in this scenario.
