Question

louis used a quadratic equation to model the height, y, of a falling object x seconds after it is dropped. which ordered pair generated by this model should be discarded because the values are unreasonable? (-4, 1) (4/10, 24) (5, 29/2) (6, 0)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the meaning of variables

The variable $x$ represents time after an object is dropped. Time cannot be negative in this real - world context.

Step2: Check each ordered pair

For the ordered pair $(-4,1)$, the $x$ - value (time) is $- 4$ seconds. Since time cannot be negative when talking about the time after an object is dropped, this ordered pair has an unreasonable value.

Answer:

$(-4,1)$
