A 30 foot ladder is set against the side of a house so that it reaches up 24 feet. If Alexander grabs the ladder at its base and pulls it 10 feet farther from the house, how far up the side of the house will the ladder reach now? (The answer is not 14 ft.) Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

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.
