Question

The graph represents the height y, in feet, above the ground of a water balloon x seconds after it is dropped from a window.



Which statement is true?

Select each correct answer.




The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0.

The water balloon is in the air for 2 s.

The water balloon hits the ground in 64 s.

The water balloon rises above 64 ft before falling toward the ground.

The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft.

Answer 1

Answer:

O The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0.  

O The water balloon is in the air for 2 s.  

O The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, by simply looking at the x axis on the graph (time), you will see that it starts at 0 and the 64 ft maximum height is aligned with the starting point of 0 seconds.

The graph also shows (x axis) the 'time' represented, and as the height rapidly decreases the graph eventually reaches the 2 second mark, going no further and no lower.

Finally, the graph shows (y axis) the peak of the water balloon's height is 64 ft, as it is the highest number reached while the water balloon was airborne.

Answer 2

The correct options are (A) The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0, (B) The water balloon is in the air for 2 s, and (5) The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft are correct.

What is a parabola?

It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.

We have:

The graph represents the height y, in feet, above the ground of a water balloon x seconds after it is dropped from a window.

The water balloon follows a path such that it makes half parabola.

From the graph:

At x = 0

Height(h) = 64 feet

Which is the maximum height of the water balloon.

After t = 2 seconds

The water balloon hits the ground

The correct options are:

• The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0.  
• The water balloon is in the air for 2 s.  
• The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft.

Thus, the correct options are (A) The maximum height of the water balloon occurs at x = 0, (B) The water balloon is in the air for 2 s, and (5) The maximum height of the water balloon is 64 ft are correct.
