The correct option D; models the depth of the submarine.
<h3>Define the term parabola?</h3>- Parabola, also known as an open curve or conic section, is formed when a right circular cone and a plane perpendicular to one of the cone's elements cross.
When a submarine is x miles out of its launch place, we need to figure out which table best represents the depth of the submarine using the function d, wherein d(x) is the depth, in meters.
Both x = 5 as well as x = 40 have zeros.
Since it's a parabola,
D(x) = a(x-5)(x-40)
vertex = (22.5, -146)
Thus,
-146 = a(22.5-5)(22.5-40)
a = -146/(22.5-5)(22.5-40)
a = 0.4767
Put value of a in equation.
D(x) = a(x-5)(x-40)
D(x) = 0.4767(x-5)(x-40)
The equation above is quadratic function model.
We can see from the graph that:
(5) and (0), respectively, are points on the graph (40,0).
Consequently, if x = 5 when y = 0, then.
y(min) > -160.
Additionally, the table in option (D) represents the submarine's depth.
