Question

A basketball player's "hang time" is the amount of time the player remains suspended in the air after a jump. The height (in meters) of superstar Michael Jordan during a jump is shown in the graph below. Assume that hhh is the distance from the ground to the lowest part of his body at ttt seconds.. Complete the following sentences based on the graph of the function. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. This is the graph of a function. Michael Jordan's hang time is second(s). The maximum height is about meter(s) . For ttt between t=0.5t=0.5t, equals, 0, point, 5 and t=1t=1t, equals, 1, the height is .

Answer 1

The graph is a nonlinear function

Michael Jordan's hang time is 0.9 seconds

The maximum height is about 1 meter

For t between t = 0.5 and t = 1, the height is decreasing.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The graph is a nonlinear function. Michael Jordan's hang time is 0.9 seconds. The maximum height is about 1 meter. For t between t = 0.5 and t = 1, the height is decreasing.

Explanation:

Okay the first one: It's nonlinear because its not a line, its a curve and its definitely not constant. The curve on the graph stops at (0.9,0) so his hangtime is 0.9 seconds. The peak of the curve is about 1 meter. Pretty self explanatory. And the last one, after the point 0.5, the height of the curve goes down, so it is decreasing.
