The answer to this is f(x) = (3/2)x - 2.
Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increase by an equal number (15) every month.
Workings in the attachments below. The green line is the function that has been set up for Victoria. The lines that form a curved looking graph belong to the function that was set up for Zach.
Neither P, nor A are on the sketch
I guess P is the upper right corner of the rectangle
and A=(0,1)
P belongs to the line going through (1,0) and B(0,y)
<span>but we don't know the y-coordinate of B </span>
<span>the triangle is right and isosceles, so pythagoras a²+a²=2² ... 2a²=4 ... a²=2 ... a=sqrt2 </span>
now look at the right triangle BOA
<span>his hypotenuse is AB=sqrt2 and the <span>the kathete</span> OA is 1 </span>
so y²+1²=(sqrt2)² ... y²+1=2 ... y²=1.. y=1
so the coordinates of B are (0,1)
the line going through (1,0) and (0,1) is L(x)=-x+1
P belongs to this line, so the coordinates of P are P(x,-x+1) (0<x<1)
b) so if that's P, the height of the rectangle is -x+1 and the width=2x
<span>so its area A(x)=2x*(-x+1)= -2x²+2x
I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

The standard form would be y = 7x^2 - 42x + 67
