Question

In the classic Looney Tunes cartoon, the character Coyote was chasing Road Runner on a cliff. Trying toescape, Road Runner jumped off a cliff into a roaring river below (Don't worry - he's safe!). The Road Runner'sfall can be modeled by the graph above with x representing time in seconds and y representing height in feet.Answer the following questions:• What is the maximum height the Road Runner reaches? Select]• When does the Road Runner reach the maximum height? Select]• How high was the cliff? Select• When will Road Runner safely land in the river? Select]

Answer 1

a) the maximum height = 78 feet

b) 1 second

c) 78 feet

d)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the maximum height the Road Runner reaches is the highest point on the graph

The highest point = (1, 78) = (x, y)

x represents time in seconds and y represents height in feet.

Hence, the maximum height = 78 feet

b) The time the Road Runner reach the maximum height of 78 feet is at x = 1

At 1 second

c) The height of the cliff = difference in height between the highest and lowest.

highest height = 78 feet and lowest height = 0 feet

The height of the cliff = 78 - 0 = 78 feet

d) The point it reaches the river = (3.208, 0) = (x, y)

The time the Road Runner will safely land in the river is at
