The table below represents the velocity of a car as a function of time: Part A: What is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the car? Part B: Calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. Part C: What would be the domain of the function if the velocity of the car was measured until it reached 60 miles/hour and the car does not change motion?

@kx2bay can you help?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

y=2x+50 is th function what is th y intercept??

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

i don't know

OpenStudy (zpupster):

when x=0 then y = ? or y-intercept

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

1?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

y = 2(0) +50 y=?

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

50

OpenStudy (zpupster):

yes

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

so the y intercept is 50

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

nevermind it's 2

OpenStudy (zpupster):

yes - 50 average rate of change: A(x) = f(x)-f(a)/x-a plug in the values

OpenStudy (zpupster):

f(1) and f(3) from the chart 52 and 56 so 52-56/1-3 =?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

1 52 2 54 3 56 4 = 58 5 = 60 (5, 60), domain = 5, and range = 60.

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

thats for part c right?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

no b the last with domain is c

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok. so "f(1) and f(3) from the chart 52 and 56 so 52-56/1-3 =?" is b?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

yes that is correct

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

ok thank you!

OpenStudy (zpupster):

recap a=50 b=2 and c=5

OpenStudy (meilendurcer):

cool i get it :D can you help with another?

OpenStudy (zpupster):

sorry gotta run take care!!!
