Answer: See each part below.
Part A: The y-intercept is the first value, or 12. That means that they bird is 12 miles from its nest when the time started.
Part B: The average rate of change is the slope. From 1 to 3 hours, the bird went from 20 to 36 or 16 miles. 16 miles in 2 hours is the same as 8 miles in 1 hour.
Part C: To find the extent of the domain, write and solve the following equation for 172 miles.
172 = 8x + 12
160 = 8x
20 = x
The domain will go up to 20 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
√a is defined only when a >= 0.
Therefore for √4x * √(x + 2) to be defined, both 4x and x + 2 must be non-negative.
When 4x >= 0, x >= 0.
When x + 2 >= 0, x >= -2.
x >= 0 and x >= -2, therefore we have x >= 0. (D)
When an absolute value is changed in the horizontal, <em>the units in change are inside the "bars"</em>, and are as follows: <em>left = positive, right = negative</em>.
Therefore, the equation is y = | x - 6.5 |.
