Building and solving an equation to model the situation, it is found that it takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.
- Initially, the dog is 5 feet underground.
- Each minute, the dog goes 2 more feet underground.
Hence, the underground height of the dog after t seconds is given by:

The time it takes for the dog to reach 13 feet underground is <u>t for which h(t) = 13</u>, hence:





It takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.

Using translation concepts, the equation of F(x) is:
A. 
<h3>What is a translation?</h3>
A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.
The parent function is:

For function F(x), we have that:
- It was shifted down 2 units, hence F(x) = G(x) - 2.
- It was vertically compressed by a factor of 3, hence

Then the equation is:
A.
