Question

The table below represents the displacement of a turtle from its nest as a function of time:
Time (Hour) x | 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4
Displacement from nest (miles) y | 5, 27 , 49,71,93

Answer 1

Part A: What is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the turtle? (4 points)

Part B: Calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 4 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points)

Part C: What would be the domain of the function if the turtle continued to walk at this rate until it traveled 225 miles from the nest?

Answer 3

You picked the wrong person to do this :( how about @sammixboo or @hero or @Nnesha

Answer 5

I'll give you hints :)

Part A: "y-intercept " means when x is equal to zero... assume your x is the time and y is the displacement.. what is the displacement when time is 0?

Part B: you have to know the formula for the slope \(\sf \large \frac{displacement@4- displacement@1}{4 hrs-1hr}\)

Part C: i'll tell you later after you find the values from parts A and B :)

have you tried what i said? which part are you confused with?

Answer 9

Like I Been Working On This All Week And The Whole Problem I Dont Understand .. Im Not really good in math

Answer 10

are you familiar with the linear equation \(\sf y=mx+b\) ?

Answer 11

Yes

Answer 12

do you know what m and b stands for?
