Given the table of data, determine the function that would most appropriately model the data.

We have that the data have a high point at the start (4). Then, it drops to a lowest point (3) and then it increases again. Hence, an exponential fit is a bad idea; exponential functions are always increasing. The same applies to square root functions, they are always decreasing or increasing and they do not have up and downs.
A quadratic function is the most appropriate function to model the data. While it is true that also cubic functions can act like this, the simplest choice is quadratic functions; they have a lowest dip and then they increase on either side of the dip, just like the data.
The correct answer is d.

What’s the length of a box with a volume of 720 cubic inches, a width of 15 inches, and a height of 4 inches? (Hint: Isolate the

Tom [10]

Box volume = height * width * length. In this problem we want the length, so we solve the given equation for length:

720 in^3

length = -------------------- = 12 in

(15 in)(4 in)

The box is 12 inches long.

Answer:

25,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4 everytime you see T.

multiple-150 times 4 plus 50000 which gives you 49,400.

then multiple 50 times 4 and add 75000, giving you 75,200 then subtract 75,200 - 49,400 which you end up with 25,800.
