Question

Identify whether the following real world examples should be modeled by a linear function or quadratic or exponential function

Answer 1

I we consider someone throwing a ball in a horizontal or inclined direction, it's movement can be modeled by a linear function across the horizontal direction but is determined by a quadratic function across the vertical direction, considering the gravity effect. Then, se can state that, in general, this example is more properly modeled by a quadratic function
