3 minutes = 2850
5 minutes = 4750

In 8 minutes he descended = 7600

1 min = 7600/8 = 950ft per min

Identify intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant.

G ( x ) = 2 - ( x - 7 )²
g ( x ) = 2 - ( x² - 14 x + 49 )
g ( x ) = 2 - x² + 14 x - 49
g ( x ) = - x² + 14 x - 47
The maximum of the function is at:
x= - b / 2 a
x = - 14 / ( - 2 ) = 7
Therefore the function is increasing form x ∈ ( - ∞, 7 ) and decreasing for x ∈ ( 7, +∞ ).
Answer:
C. increasing, x < 7; decreasing x > 7.
