Help, will give Medal!!! You (safely) bungee jump from a 200-feet tall bridge in your town. Your distance above the water's surface depends on the time since you jumped. Sketch a reasonable graph.

Question

anonymous · Answer

which sort of graph do you want?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know. It just says sketch a graph. This unit was dealing with trig functions like sin,cos,tan,csc,cot, etc

Well I can't entirely see where a trig function would come into lay here...perhaps this is a 2 or 3 part problem? but for this...it will just be a graph starting at y = 200....and going down exponentially (because of gravity) to 0 (sea level)

anonymous · Answer

could you show me what the graph would like like? Like would it have a parabola or something? This lesson dealed with trig functions. @johnweldon1993

johnweldon1993 · Answer

Well, it will deal with trig functions now that I think about it...alright so look at it like this...each time you go up and down via the bungee rope...you will go a certain amount less up and down each time ....until you eventually stop and just hang there right?
