Question

A party planner is going to use an arch of balloons for a parade of recent graduates. The estimated curve the

balloons will create is modeled by the function given in the table, where x represents the distance in feet along
the ground from the start and f(x) represents the height in feet above the ground.

The planner needs a clearance of 9 feet under the arch. Has the planner met the minimum height?

No, because the width of the arch is 8 feet
Yes, because the width of the arch is 9.6 feet
No, because the maximum height of the arch is 8 feet
Yes, because the maximum height of the arch is 9.6

Answer 2

Option (4)

Explanation:

Party planner has used an arc of balloons for the parade.

This arc starts from x = 0 along the ground and f(x) defines the height of the arch.

From the table attached, it is clear that at x = 4 maximum height of the arch is 9.6 feet.

Therefore, clearance space below the arc is 9.6 feet which is greater than 9 feet, minimum height required for the clearance of the parade.

Option (4) will be the answer.
