The path of a ball is modeled by the function f(x)=-1/20 x^2+3x+5, where f(x) is the height (in feet) of the ball and x is the horizontal distance (in feet) from where the ball was thrown. What is the maximum height of the ball? Which number determines the height at which the ball was thrown? Does changing this value changes the coordinates of the maximum height of the ball? Explain
Transformation of Graphs
The word ‘transformation’ means modification. Transformation of the graph of a function is a process by which we modify or change the original graph and make a new graph.
Exponential Functions
The exponential function is a type of mathematical function which is used in real-world contexts. It helps to find out the exponential decay model or exponential growth model, in mathematical models. In this topic, we will understand descriptive rules, concepts, structures, graphs, interpreter series, work formulas, and examples of functions involving exponents.
