An item is being lifted by an elevator at a constant speed to a height of 10 feet. The item does not move for five seconds then catapults off the 10-foot platform and back to the ground. Compare the height of the item to the time passed in seconds. Determine the correct types of functions that describes the scenario in the correct order.(1 point) Responses
A. Constant Function, Quadratic Function, Linear Function
B. Linear Function, Constant Function, Quadratic Function
C. Quadratic Function, Constant Function, Linear Function
D. Linear Function, Constant Function, Linear Function
Try B
The item free-falls to the ground
Correct, the item would free-fall to the ground after catapulting off the 10-foot platform. So the correct order of functions to describe the scenario is:
B. Linear Function, Constant Function, Quadratic Function
- The item is lifted by the elevator at a constant speed to a height of 10 feet, described by a Linear Function.
- The item does not move for five seconds at the 10-foot platform, described by a Constant Function.
- The item then free-falls back to the ground, described by a Quadratic Function.
