Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (a+3)(a-3) = a²+3a-3a-9 = a²-9
2. a linear equation consists of a polynomial of degree one.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No, the equation cannot be written with the given information. The distance from the catapult when the watermelon reached the maximum height is needed. Since the watermelon did not start on the ground, it cannot be assumed that the maximum was reached half the distance to the landing point.
Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) Write an equation for T (d)
Let
d ----> the number of days
T ---> the time in minutes of the treadmill
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
In this problem we have
The slope or unit rate is

The y-intercept or initial value is

substitute

Part b) Find T (6), the minutes he will spend on the treadmill on day 6
For d=6
substitute in the equation and solve for T


Divide by 21 to put the equation in intercept form.
x/(21/9) + y/(-21/7) = 1
x/(7/3) + y/(-3) = 1
The x-intercept is (7/3, 0)
The y-intercept is (0, -3)
The 3rd choice is appropriate.
