A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 2 feet, 75 feet away from the player. The height y (in feet) of a second hockey puck is modeled by y=x(0.09−0.0009x), where x is the horizontal distance (in feet). Compare the distances traveled by the hockey pucks before hitting the ground.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
