the vertical line test is a graphical way to determine whether or not the graph is a function of x
if you can draw a vertical line on a graph and cross the graph at least 2 times, the graph is not a function
a function will have 1 y value for every x value, therefore, if we can draw a vertical line (x=c, a constant) that intersects the curve at more than 1 point, then that point where it intersects at more than 1 point is where 1 value of x coresponds to more than 1 value of y and is therefore not a function
The average slope (s) on the interval [a, b] is given by
s = (f(b) -f(a))/(b -a)
When there are a lot of computations to do, it is convenient to let a machine do them. The intervals and slopes are ...
[0, 5] : 5
[-3, 3] : 0
[-5, 3] : -2
[-3, 5] : 2
7 that is what t should be
480 or 500 depending on if you want to round to the nearest 10 or the nearest 100
