Question

a banana is launched from a slingshot into the air from a cliff. the path of the banana is shown below by function b(x). work with a partner to decide if each statement about the path of the banana is true or false. be prepared to defend your answers. all measurements are given in feet

1. b(4)=10

true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the function notation

The function \(b(x)\) represents the distance above the ground (in feet) when the distance from the cannon is \(x\) feet. So, \(b(4)\) means we need to find the value of the function when \(x = 4\).

Step2: Check the table for \(x = 4\)

Looking at the table, when the distance from the cannon (\(x\)) is \(4\) feet, the distance above the ground (the value of \(b(x)\)) is \(10\) feet.

Answer:

True
