Question

A technician is launching an aerial firework from a tower. The height of the firework is measured in feet and the time is measured in seconds. A function that models the fireworks vertical distance with no respect to time,x, is f(x)=-16x^+96x+112 What information does this form of equation give about the firework

Answer 1

The equation gives only the total vertical distance traveled by the firework or maximum height reached by the firework

Explanation:

Given;

A function that models the fireworks vertical distance with no respect to time,x, as;

f(x)=-16x^+96x+112

The equation gives only the total vertical distance traveled by the firework, it does not account for the position of the firework at a particular time.

Thus, with the given function we can only estimate the maximum height reached by the firework.
