What price will result in that maximum? Do you think this model would still hold true today? 2. Architecture The of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, is a catenary curve, which loosely resembles a parabola. The function models the shape of the arch, where y is the height in feet and x is the horizontal distance from the base of the left side of the arch in feet. According to the model, what is the maximum height of the arch? What is the width of the arch at the base? 3. Field Hockey Suppose a player makes a scoop that releases the ball from the ground with an upward velocity of 34 ft/s. a. Write a function rule to model the flight of the ball. b. Will the ball ever reach a height of 20 ft? Explain. 4. Business The weekly revenue, R, for a company is , where p is the price of the company’s product. When will the weekly revenue reach $1500? Explain. 5. Woodland Jumping Mouse The woodland jumping mouse can hop surprisingly long distances given its small size. A relatively long hop can be modeled by where x and y are measured in feet. How far can a woodland jumping mouse hop? Can a woodland jumping mouse jump a tree stump that is 2.5 ft high?
