The rate of change is constant with the object dropping 1 foot every second. The rate of change is constant with the object dropping 144 feet every second. The rate of change decreases over time. The object is 128 feet above ground after one second, but 80 feet after two seconds. The rate of change increases over time. The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Answer:

The rate of change increases over time.

The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the table,

Time (seconds)  (x)                         Height (feet) (y)

        0                                                144    

        1                                                 128

        2                                                 80

        3                                                  0

Now, Rate of change is equal to the ratio of change in height and change in time.

That is, Rate of change = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.

So, we find the rate for the different time intervals.

A.. Rate in [0,1] = \frac{128-144}{1-0} = -16 feet per second

B. Rate in [1,2] = \frac{80-128}{2-1} = -48 feet per second

C. Rate in [2,3] = \frac{0-80}{3-2} = -80 feet per second

So, we see that,

<em>The rate is increasing in magnitude over time and in the 1st second, the rate is 16 feet and in the last second, the rate is 80 feet.</em>

Hence, the statements describing rate of change are,

The rate of change increases over time.

The object drops 16 feet in the first second, but 80 feet in the last second.

2. Starting at a fixed time, each car entering an intersection is observed to see whether it turns left (L), right (R), or goes
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Natural numbers (integers greater than zero)

X = 3,  5,  4,  4,  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The least number of cars that can be observed in this experiment is 1, if the first car turns left. On the other hand, the experiment could go on forever if no car ever turns left, thus the highest number of cars approaches infinite.

The possible values of X are integers greater than zero, which are known as the Natural numbers.

If X = number of cars observed, simply count the number of letters in each outcome for the value of X:

Outcome = RRL, AARRL, AARL, RRAL, ARL

            X = 3,  5,  4,  4,  3

Penny's garden has alength of 16ft. and the width is 5 ft. with a rectangular fountain in the middle that measures 5 ft by 9 ft.
lilavasa [31]

First we need the whole garden:

16 x 5 = 80

Now we need to fountain:

5 x 9 = 45

Now to find our answer:

80 - 45 = 35

So our answer is B. 35ft²

Consider the line y=5/7x+7. Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-5,-2). Fi
butalik [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

m=5/7

m1=m2=5/7

L;y-(-2)=5/7(x-(-5)

y+2=5/7(x+5)

7y+14=5X+25

7y-5x=11 is parallel lines

m1*m2=-1 is perpendicular lines

m2=-1*7/5

m2=-7/5

L;y+2=-7/5(x+5)

5Y+10=-7x-35

5y+7x=-45 is perpendicular lines
