A:
a) What do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent?
The x-intercepts are the distances at which the ball is on the ground.
First, at x = 0, that is when the ball is kicked; second, at x = 30, when the ball falls (return) to the ground.
b) What are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing,
and what do they represent about the distance and height? (6 points)
The function is increasing in the interval (0, 15) and is decreasing in the interval (15,30)
The increasing interval (0,15) is the horizontal distance from the point the the ball was kicked until it reached its highest altitude, this is where the ball was going upward.
The decreasing interval (15,30) is the horizontal distance from the point where the ball reached its highest altitude until it landed on the ground, this is where the ball was falling down.
Part B: What is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x
= 22 to x = 26, and what does this rate represent
On the graph you can read that at x = 22, f(x) ≈ 12, and at x = 26 f(x) ≈ 7.
So, an approximate rate of change from x = 22 to x = 26 is given by the equation below:
change on f(x) 7 - 12
average rate of change = --------------------- = ----------- = -5/4
change of x 26 - 22
That rate represents that the ball fell about 5 ft per 4 ft in that interval.

Answer:
C. 2c+12
Step-by-step explanation:
"12 more than 2 times the number of cats" means "12 + 2c", where c is the number of cats.
To get 2 times, we multiply by 2. To get 12 more, we add 12.
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x + k = c ( isolate the term 3x by subtracting k from both sides )
3x = c - k ( divide both sides by 3 )
x =
They are equal...1/5 is half of 2/10
Answer:
5x - 4y = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
5x - 4y = 36 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
- 4y = - 5x + 36 ( divide all terms by - 4 )
y = 
x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (8, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 10 = - 8
y = x - 8 ← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 4
4y = 5x - 32 ( subtract 4y from both sides )
0 = 5x - 4y - 32 ( add 32 to both sides )
32 = 5x - 4y, that is
5x - 4y = 32 ← in standard form
