For the first 3 years of a horse's life, the weight w (in kilograms) of the horse approximately fits the formula w(t) = 30 + 170
t, where t is the age of the horse in years
which of the following is the most accurate interpretation of the slope of the line represented by this formula
A) the slope is 30. this means that the horse gains a total of 30 kilos in the first 3 years of its life.
B) the slope is 170. this means thst the horse gained on average 170 kilos per year for the first 3 years of its life
C)the slope is 30. this means that the horse gains on average 30 kilos per year for the first 3 years of it's life
D)The slope is 170. this means that the horse gains a total of 170 kilos in the first 3 years of his life

<u>Quadratic Function</u>
Standard Form of Quadratic Function
The standard representation of a quadratic function is:
where a,b, and c are constants.
When the zeros of f (x1 and x2) are given, it can be written as:
f(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)
Where a is a constant called the leading coefficient.
We are given the two roots of f: x1=-3 and x2=4, thus:
f(x)=a(x+3)(x-4)
We also know that f(5)=8, thus:
f(5)=a(5+3)(5-4)=8
Operating:
a(8)(1)=8
Solving:
a=1
The function is:
f(x)=1(x+3)(x-4)
Operating:
