Question

An item is being lifted by an elevator at a constant speed to a height of 10 feet. The item does not move for five seconds, then catapults off the 10-foot platform and back to the ground. Compare the height of the item to the time passed in seconds. Determine the correct types of functions that would describe the scenario in the correct order.(1 point)

Increasing Linear Function, Linear Function with a slope of 0, Quadratic Function

Linear Function with a slope of 0, Quadratic Function, Decreasing Linear Function

Increasing Linear Function, Linear Function with a slope of 0, Decreasing Linear Function

Quadratic Function, Linear Function with a slope of 0, Increasing Linear Function

Answer 1

Increasing Linear Function, Linear Function with a slope of 0, Quadratic Function.

Explanation: the elevator lifts at constant speed (increasing linear), then height is constant for five seconds (slope 0), then the fall is governed by gravity (quadratic/parabolic).
