Part A) x-intercepts simply show that when the value of the function is zero. Vertex coordinates show that when the function obtains its maximum value. When x=50, function obtains its maximum value and it's 75. The function is increasing in the interval (0, 50) and decreasing in the interval (50, 100). In regard to the height and distance of the tunnel, these numbers show that decreasing and increasing intervals are symmetric. Each number from the intervals has its own pair in the corresponding interval and they are located in the same distance from the midpoint (50,75)
Part B) In order to calculate the average rate of change, we can first write the function. Using the information about the x-intercept and the vertex coordinates, we find that our function is
.
Plugging 15 and 35 in x, we can find the values of the function, i.e.
and 
.
Then, the average change is

Answer:
The coordinates of the points that are members of the solution set
(-3,7), (0,4) and (2,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
----> inequality A
The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the dashed line
----> inequality B
The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area above the solid line
The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the dashed line and the solid line
see the attached figure
Remember that,
If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must be in the shaded area of the solution
Plot the points
(-3, 7), (-3, -7), (3,-7), (-4,-0), (0,-4), (0,4), (2,3), (-2,3), (2,-3)
therefore
The coordinates of the points that are members of the solution set
(-3,7), (0,4) and (2,3)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We need the formula for arc length (in radians) to solve this problem. The formula is:
Where
s is the arc length
r is the radius of the circle
is the intercepted angle
In this diagram, we can see that is beign intercepted by the big arc with measure 20 cm. So arc length, s, is 20
Also, if we look, we see that the radius is 5 cm, so r = 5
Now, we substitute into formula and find :
This is given in radians, so is 4 radians
D is the correct answer choice.
