A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The distance s (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is s (t) = 112 + 96t - 16t2 Complete the table and discuss the interpretation of each point. t s(t) Interpretation 0 0.5 1 2 100 100 200 200
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
