Answer:
The distance traveled between 10 minutes and 15 minutes is increasing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacob is going on a road trip across the country. He covers 10 miles in 15 minutes.
Therefore, between the 10 minutes and 15 minutes, Jacob was in motion and if he covers 10 miles in 15 minutes with a constant speed, then Jacob will cover miles in that period.
So, the distance traveled between 10 minutes and 15 minutes is increasing.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form is accomplished by completing the square on the quadratic. Do this by first setting the parabola equal to 0 then moving the constant over to the other side:
Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9:
The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left:
(obviously the 0 results from the addition of 9 and -9). Move the 0 back over to the other side and set the quadratic back equal to y:
This gives you a vertex of (-3, 0), which is a minimum value, since the parabola opens upwards.
