Q. Kaori is taking a free-throw.H(d) models the basketball's height (in meters) at a horizontal distance of d meters from Kaori.What does the statement H(R)=4 mean?Choose 1 answer:A The ball was at the same height at the horizontal distances of 4 meters and R meters.B At a horizontal distance of R meters from Kaori, the ball's height was equal to 4 meters.C At a horizontal distance of 4 meters from Kaori, the ball's height was equal to R meters.
Given Function H(d): We are given the function H(d) which represents the height of the basketball at a horizontal distance d from Kaori. The statement H(R)=4 is a specific value of this function.
Interpreting H(R)=4: To interpret H(R)=4, we need to understand that H(d) gives us the height of the basketball at any horizontal distance d. Here, R is a specific horizontal distance from Kaori, and the value of the function H at this distance R is given to be 4 meters.
Analyzing Options: Now, we look at the options provided to determine which one correctly describes the meaning of H(R)=4. Option A suggests that the ball was at the same height at two different horizontal distances, which is not what the statement H(R)=4 implies.
Option A: Option B suggests that at a horizontal distance of R meters from Kaori, the ball's height was 4 meters. This matches the interpretation of the function H(d) and the specific value given by H(R)=4.
Option B: Option C suggests that at a horizontal distance of 4 meters from Kaori, the ball's height was R meters. This reverses the meaning of the function and the specific value given, which is incorrect.
