Question 1078111: Can you please help me solve this word problem?
A frog leaps from a 1-foot high stump by a pond to land on a lily pad.� When he leaps, an equation that describes his height above the pond is f(x)= -0.25x+0.75x+1, with x representing the horizontal distance from the base of the stump (directly beneath the frog).� The measurements for x and �are in feet.� Remember that this is a mathematical frog and stump, so you do not have to take in consideration the space that each occupies.�
1.�� What common curve would the graph of this equation be?� What are the (x, y) coordinates of the frog�s initial position?
�
2.How far is the lily pad from the base of the stump?
�
�
3.If the frog catches a fly at the highest point of his jump, how high was the fly above the pond?
