7. Physics students drop a basketball from 5 feet above the ground and its height is measured each tenth of a second until it stops bouncing. The height of the basketball, h, is clearly a function of the time, t, since it was dropped. (a) Sketch the general graph of what you believe this function would look like. (b) Is the height of the ball a one-to-one function of time? Explain your answer. 4 h (ft) 5- t (sec) REASONING 8. Consider the function f(x) = round(x), which rounds the input, x, to the nearest integer. Is this function one-to-one? Explain or justify your answer.

In this problem you are asked to find a function that models in real life situation and then use the model to answer questions about the guidelines on page 273 to help you. Bird Flight A bird is released from point A on an island. 5 mi from the nearest point Bon a straight shoreline. The bird flies to a point C on the shoreline and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D (see the figure). Suppose the bird requires 10 Kcal/mi of energy to fly over land md 14 kcal/mi to fly over water. a) Use the fact that energy used = energy per mile X miles flown to show that the total energy used by the bird is modeled by the function E(x)=14x2+25+10(12x) (b) If the bird instinctively chooses a path that minimizes its energy expenditure, to whatpoint does it fly?
In these problems you are asked to find a function that models a real-life situation. Use the principals of modeling described in this Focus to help you. Distance They ships leave port at the same time. One sails south at 15 mi/h, and the other sails east at 20 mi/h. Find a function that models the distance D between the ships in terms of the time t (in hours) elapsed since their departure.
How do the graphs of the functions f(x)=x2 and f(x)=x21 differ? We graphed them at the start of this section. What is the difference between their graphs? How are their graphs the same?

In this problem you are asked to find a function that models in real life situation and then use the model to answer questions about the guidelines on page 273 to help you. Minimizing Time A man stands at a point A on the bank of a straight river, 2 mi wide. To reach point B, 7 mi downstream on the opposite bank, he first rows his boat to point Pon the opposite bank and then walks the remaining distances x to B, as shown in the figure. He can row at a speed or 2 mi/h and walk as a speed of mi/h (a) Find a function that models the time needed for the trip. (b) Where should he land so that he reaches B as soon as possible?
