A toy company is releasing a new catapult for water balloons that launches them at 9.8 meters per second from a stand 0.6 meters tall. The function f(x) = −4.9x2 + 9.8x + 0.6 describes the path of the water balloon, where x is the amount of time since the launch. While the mathematical range is y ≤ 5.5, how does the reasonable range compare?

  reasonable range: 0 ≤ y ≤ 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless the balloons are being launched from a building or the edge of a cliff, we generally expect f(x) ≥ 0. This limits the "reasonable range" to ...

  0 ≤ y ≤ 5.5

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
