Chapter 10, Problem 12TP
Solution

To State:

Whether the height of a dropped basketball over time be modelled by a trigonometric function. If yes, write the function, if not, explain why not.

No. The maximum height of a basketball steadily decreases with each bounce and such a decrease requires use of exponential function along with trigonometric and modulus functions to model.

Given:

A basketball is dropped from a height of 15 feet.

Concepts Used:

The maximum height of a dropped basketball reduces after each bounce depending on the rate of loss of energy at each bounce.

Description:

The situation can be modelled by a sinusoid with an exponentially decreasing amplitude. Since the height of the basketball is never negative, the said function has to be inside a modulus function.

Conclusion:

The height of dropped basketball cannot be modelled by a simple trigonometric function.
