Question

Dione is designing a water fountain for the lobby of a new hospital. She knows that the fountain will have a circular pool with water projected upward at a constant rate from the center of the pool. She needs to determine the maximum height, so she uses a linear model to represent the situation.

Answer 1

Diane did not choose a good model. Because the water is a projectile with a maximum height, she should use a quadratic model

Explanation:

Here, we want to choose the correct option

As we are having a circular projection, we should be looking at having a parabolic representation i.e a model that looks like a parabola

So the correct answer in this case is that;

Diane did not choose a good model. Because the water is a projectile with a maximum height, she should use a quadratic model
