Question

NEED ASAP! A fountain sprays water into a pool as part of the filtration system. The projected path of water is modeled by the function given in the table, where x represents the time in seconds since the water left the fountain and f(x) represents the height in feet above the pool’s water line. How many seconds does the water travel through the air? A. –6 B. 1.5 C. 3 D. 5

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at all the data collected, the time goes up to 5 seconds but with each second the height goes up and down drastically. With all of it is would have to be 5 seconds because that is how many seconds they recorded the fountain being on for.

Hope this helps :3
