The table doesn't represent linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify if the table represent a linear function or not.

<u>Linear Function </u>

A linear function is defined as a straight line with an x and y intercept and the same slope through the whole line.

Finding the slope of elements in the table:

x y

0 0

1 1

2 8

3 27

Slope= y/x

Slope = 0/0=0

slope = 1/1 = 1

slope = 8/2 = 2

slope = 27/3 = 9

The function represented is: y=x^3

Since the slope of points x and y in the table is not same, and its graph is not linear.

So, the table doesn't represent linear function

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

$y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400$

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

$0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0$
