Question

LogarithmO Points: 0 of 1SaveA ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 5 feet. The table shows four measurements indicating the ball's height at various horizontal distances fromwhere it was thrown. A graphing calculator displays a quadratic function that models the ball's height, y, in feet, in terms of its horizontal distance, x, in feet. Answerparts (a)-(c) belowx, Ball's Horizontal Distance (feet) y. Ball's Height (feet)QuadReg05y=ax² +bx+c17.953an-08b=28429c = 5.4a. Explain why a quadratic function was used to model the data.OA The height increases then decreases, which looks like a quadratic function.B. The height decreases quickly at first, but then decreases more slowly, which looks like a quadratic function.OC. The height starts decreasing more and more rapidly, which looks like a quadratic function.OD. The height decreases then increases, which looks like a quadratic function

Answer 1

a. Explain why a quadratic function was used to model the data.

option b

The height decreases quickly at first, but then decreases more slowly, which looks like a quadratic function.

and option C

The height starts decreasing more and more rapidly, which looks like a quadratic function.

describe a logarithm function

then possibles answers are option A and D

from the information you give me

since we are talking about a thrown of a ball

the answer is option A

A The height increases then decreases, which looks like a quadratic function.
