Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. the distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 – 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. for which interval of time is greg’s car moving in the air?

It takes 3 seconds over the interval [0,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the roller coaster reaches the ground, find when d=0.

To solve divide each term by 16 and factor:

Solve for t by setting each factor to 0.

t-3=0 so t=3

t+3=0 so t=-3

This means the car is in the air from 0 to 3 second.

d

step-by-step explanation:

d

the circle graph is not a function.

step-by-step explanation:

the graph of the circle is not a function.

because for a graph to be a function, each value of x must give one value of y

in the circle, the values of x for -2< x< 2 each give 2 values of y.

hence this is not a function.
