1) y-intercept => x = 0, => y = f(0) = 0 - 0 + 0 - 36 = -36
2) x-intercept => y = 0 => factor the function (start by dividing by x -2)
f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)(x-6) =0 => x =2, x = 3, x = 6 (these are the x-intercepts)
3) critical points:
between x = 2 and x = 3, there is a local maximum
between x =3 and x = 6 there is a local minimum
3) Shape.
The function comes growing from - infinity.
In the third quadrant the function is negative (it does not pass throuhg the second quadrant)
It enters to the fourth quadrant intercepting the y-axis at y = -36. It continues growing and intercepts the x-axis at x = 2.
It continues increasing until a maximum local positive value, starts to decrease, intercepts the x-axis at x = 3, continues decreasing, becomes negative, gets a local minimum in the fourth quadrant, starts to increase, intercepts the x-axis at x = 6, becomes positive, and continues growing.
The heights of women aged 20 to 29 are approximately Normal with mean 64 inches and standard deviation 2.7 inches. Men the same age have mean height 69.3 inches with standard deviation 2.8 inches.
<span>Part
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.

Any second part or anything else to look at?
You answer is C because 7-(-2) is 9 and then u just had an X at the end .
Hope this helps:)
