Answer:
This is the graph of a parabolic function.
- Without seeing the dropdown menu, I assume that is what the question is asking. It's parabolic: the shape is like an upside-down u or an upside-down v.
Michael Jordan's hang time is .9 seconds.
- The parabola starts at 0 seconds, and ends at t = .9 seconds.
The maximum height is about 1 meter.
- The vertex or very top of the parabola is at h = 1.
For t between t = .5 and t = 1, the height is decreasing/falling/going down.
- I can't tell this one for sure unless I can see the dropdowns. But I can say that from .5 to 1, whatever it is, it's dropping or falling, because the height is getting less and less.
