A man is flying in a hot-air balloon in a straight line while keeping it at a constant altitude. As he approaches a parking lot and notices that the angle of depression from his balloon to a friend's car is 36º. He flew directly over the car. A minute and a half later he had travelled 360 feet horizontally; he looks back to see his friend getting into the car and observes the angle of depression to be 37º. At that time, what is the distance between him and his friend?

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
