Question 7 • Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections

Graham and Hunter are circus performers. A cable lifts Graham into the air at a constant speed of 1 point 5 ft/s. When Graham’s arms are 18 ft above the ground, Hunter, who is standing directly underneath Graham, throws Graham a ball as the cable continues to lift him higher. Hunter throws the ball from a position 5 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 24 ft/s. Which system of equations can be used to model this situation?

Answer
A
h is equal to 18 plus 1 point 5 t h is equal to 5 plus 24 t plus 16 t squared
B
h is equal to 18 plus 1 point 5 t h is equal to 5 plus 24 t minus 16 t squared
C
h is equal to 18 plus 1 point 5 t h is equal to 5 plus 24 t
D
h is equal to 18 plus 1 point 5 t minus 16 t squared h is equal to 5 plus 24 t minus 16 t squared
