. A basketball coach is interested in measuring a player’s vertical jumping ability. While standing and reaching up, the player’s hand reaches the 4-in. mark on the scale. When jumping, the player
can reach the 19-in. mark. What is the player’s vertical jumping ability?

The player's vertical jump ability is 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The mark on the scale which the player's hand can reach while standing = 4-in which is the standing reach

The mark on the scale the player's hand can reach when jumping = 19-in

Therefore, the player's vertical jumping ability is given as the difference between the height the players hand can reach when jumping and the height which the player's hand can when standing,

Which gives;

The player's vertical jump ability = 19 inches - 4 inches = 15 inches

The player's vertical jump ability = 15 inches.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

answer: the answer is e
