The height \(y\) (in feet) of a baseball thrown by a child is $$y=-\frac{1}{10} x^{2}+3 x+6$$ where \(x\) is the horizontal distance (in feet) from where the ball was thrown. Will the ball fly over the head of another child 30 feet away trying to catch the ball? (Assume that the child who is trying to catch the ball holds a baseball glove at a height of 5 feet.)
Match the data with one of the following functions $$f(x)=c x, g(x)=c x^{2}, h(x)=c \sqrt{|x|}, \quad \text {and} \quad r(x)=\frac{c}{x}$$ and determine the value of the constant \(c\) that will make the function fit the data in the table. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline x & -4 & -1 & 0 & 1 & 4 \\\\\hline y & -1 & -\frac{1}{4} & 0 & \frac{1}{4} & 1 \\\\\hline\end{array}$$
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) The simple interest on an investment is directly proportional to the amount of the investment. An investment of \(\$ 3250\) will earn \(\$ 113.75\) after 1 year. Find a mathematical model that gives the interest \(I\) after 1 year in terms of the amount invested \(P\)
A balloon carrying a transmitter ascends vertically from a point 3000 feet from the receiving station. (a) Draw a diagram that gives a visual representation of the problem. Let \(h\) represent the height of the balloon and let \(d\) represent the distance between the balloon and the receiving station. (b) Write the height of the balloon as a function of \(d\) What is the domain of the function?
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(y\) is inversely proportional to \(x .(y=7 \text { when } x=4 .)\)
