Question
The linear model represents the height, f(x), of a water balloon thrown off the roof of a building over time, x, measured in seconds: A linear model with ordered pairs at 0, 60 and 2, 80 and 3, 80 and 4, 20 and 6, 0 and 7, 0 and 8, 0. The x axis is labeled Time in seconds, and the y axis is labeled Height in feet. Part A: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon’s height increasing? (2 points) Part B: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon’s height staying the same? (2 points) Part C: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon’s height decreasing the fastest? Use complete sentences to support your answer. (3 points) Part D: Use the constraints of the real-world situation to predict the height of the water balloon at 10 seconds. Use complete sentences to support your answer. (3 points)

Answer:
The data for linear pair are;
The domain are the values (input) on the x-axis which is the time
The range are the values input on the y-axis which is the height reached by the balloon
Part A
The interval of the domain during which the water balloon height is increasing is 0 ≤ x ≤ 2
Part B
The intervals of the domain the water balloon’s height stays the same are;
2 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 6 ≤ x ≤ 8
Part C
The water balloon height is decreasing at the following intervals;
At the interval 3 ≤ x ≤ 4
The rate of decrease = (20 ft. – 80 ft.)/(4 s – 3 s) = -20 ft./s.
At the interval 4 ≤ x ≤ 6
The rate of decrease = (0 ft. – 20 ft.)/(6 s – 4 s) = -10 ft./s
Therefore, the interval of the domain that the balloon’s height is decreasing the fastest is 3 ≤ x ≤ 4
Part D
According to Newton’s law of motion, provided that the no additional force is applied to the the balloon, at 10 seconds, the height of the water balloon is 0 ft. given that the height of the balloon is constantly decreasing from 3 seconds after being thrown off the roof, reaching a height of 0ft. at 6 seconds and maintaining that height up until 8 seconds.
By extending the graph further, the height of 0 ft. is obtained at 10 seconds after the balloon is thrown
