The function will approximate the height of an object which was thrown straight upward at a speed of 10 meters per second at time seconds from a height of 40 meters. See the graph below.
You can move the point to see how high the object will be at a certain time, or when the object will hit the ground.
Now, we can use this function to describe other situations involving such an object. For example, suppose the person had waited until second before throwing the object.
  1. Which graph below shows the height of the object if the person waited 1 second before throwing it?
    Graph 1
    Graph 2
    Answer:
  2. Since this is a horizontal translation of the original graph are we changing the input or the output?
  3. In order to correctly shift the graph of what will we use for the input in the formula for the function Type your expression below.
