Which function would be the best model to represent the height of a skateboarder skating on a half pipe? a) b) c) d)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, where are the functions? ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are invisible..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

c looks good, go with c ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its d...dont listen to him

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, I prefer a :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

emporers new clothes i tell ya lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually its 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no seriously, aren't there any functions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

._. or am I blind?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

skaters aint got time to deal with functions....so this is as good as it gets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wont let me paste them , ima try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o_o I think I've gone blind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, then I'm not blind ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just type them they cant be that ridiculous lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

try to type them out instead of paste, thats the way we did it back in my day,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, that's the we do it now amistre :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

back when it took 8 hours to walk to school and it was ok to not wear a seat belt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ) y-1 over x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ppl still walk to school you know =P

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, and airconditioning was 60 with the windows down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B ) y = Radical sign x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've always prefered the fresh air, and still do lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C ) y=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d) y= x squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay There are the answer choices

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ahhhh....it WAS d.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still going with A, but not sure though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so think of a half pipe and the graphs....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its x^2. and its root x as a reference btw lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

parabola is up and down, it should be -x^2 tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not just write down the given and compute a formula out of it?:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with that, no guessing would be needed ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what should i choose

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id go with parabola....right or wrong..sounds ideal to the situation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and dont forget the become a fan button

OpenStudy (amistre64):

something about speed and distance is squared

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i broke my fan button off lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im a fan of you guys , are yall mine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well just think of why it cant be root(x), y=x or the other one....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not yet......... it takes alot for me to be a fan of someone. You anything like CCR?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hat type of function does the letter U most look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quadratic? and amistre64 im in engineering that should be a reason to be my fan :) lollz

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yay!!! trains

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you do for a living ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice stereotype most people will say BRIDGE!!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

breath, eat, sleep wen I can. I was a carpenter for many years but got unemployed and gimped up....

OpenStudy (amistre64):
