An aspiring engineer wants to build a timer by taking a glass cylinder, filling it with water, suspending it in the air, and cutting a small hole in the bottom. he notes that at 1 p. m., the cylinder is 80% full, and at 2 p. m., it is 65% full. draw a graph expressing this and interpret the meaning of the y-intercept.

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
