Question

Danny tosses a ball into the air. Its height, as a function of time, is modeled by

y= -16x^2+9x+4
Which statement best describes the function?

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

y = 16x^2 + 9x + 4

This function is non-linear because it is not in the form of line equation y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

Also, this equation consists of a term that is squared (-16x^2) so it is non-linear.

Therefore, option (D) This function is non-linear is correct
