Question
Solve the problem using your graphing calculator. Round all parameter values to the nearest hundredth. Beatrice used a slingshot to launch an egg into the air. She recorded the egg's path using a motion detector. The following data represents the height (in feet) of the egg at certain time points (in seconds): ((0.0,16),(1.7,20.46),(2.5,23.16),(3.7,23.51),(5.1,20.07),(6.6,12.4),(7.3,5.62),(8.0,0.15)) Distance is the dependent variable, and time is the independent variable. Step 4: Determine the height from which the egg was launched. 16 feet 3 feet 8 feet 0 feet
