Question

the elevation at which a baseball game is played affects the distance a ball travels when hit. For every increase of 1,000 ft. in elevation, the ball travels about 6 feet farther. Suppose Frank hits a ball that travels 220 ft. when hit in a ballpark at sea level. write an function for the distance the ball travels as a function of the elevation of the ball park. How far would the same ball travel if it were hit in a park with an elevation of 2,500 ft.?

Answer 1

D = Do + (h/1000)*6ft
D = 220 + (2500/1000)6ft = 235 ft.
