Question 11

of its flight.

a) When was the balloon neither rising nor failing?

b) How far did the balloon rise in the last 20 seconds of its flight?

c) A student thought that this graph closely resembled a cubic function of the form
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 3 + 𝑏𝑥 2 + 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑. She used her CAS calculator to formulate three simultaneous
equations using the coordinates of the local maximum, local minimum and final end point.
The first of these equations she formulated was
1200 = 8000𝑎 + 400𝑏 + 20𝑐 + 𝑑
State the value of d and write down the other 2 equations she used. Hence find her cubic
polynomial to match the above curve, using exact values for the coefficients.

d) State the interval for which the height is strictly decreasing.
