Question

the table shows the approximate height of an object x seconds after the object was dropped. the function h(x)= - 16x² + 100 models the data in the table. for which value of x would this model make the least sense to use? -2.75 0.25 1.75 2.25

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the context

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

Step2: Check each option

Options B (0.25), C (1.75), and D (2.25) are positive values which are valid for time. Option A (-2.75) is a negative value. Since time after dropping an object cannot be negative, using $x=-2.75$ would make the least sense for this model.

Answer:

A. -2.75
