OpenStudy (anonymous):

help with what?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph:

OpenStudy (richgall____):

OpenStudy (richgall____):

Part A: Is the graph linear or nonlinear? Explain your answer. Part B: In which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant? Part C: In your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what do you know so far?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

Lol funny question ..... -_- nothing at all

OpenStudy (richgall____):

well for part a i kinda think its linear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then haha so for A.. do you know what linear and colinear mean?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

linear is like when the line is going in a straight line or almost one

OpenStudy (richgall____):

non linear is when it's not arranged in a a straight line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good so which do you believe it is?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

i guess linear but like the questions I'm used to doing the non linear lines would be all over the place but these are straight tho they jus curving at different points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea its linear good job :) so how about part 2?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

K is increasing

OpenStudy (richgall____):

L is constant

OpenStudy (richgall____):

m is decreasing

OpenStudy (richgall____):

tbh Ik how to do this stuff i just make my mind think its hard ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great job, now part 3?

OpenStudy (richgall____):

but i do be trying to check n make sure its right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol its fine :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for 3 your basically explaining what data the graph shows

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's something you have to do in your own words lol

OpenStudy (richgall____):

It starts out going up a steep hill. Then the ant starts traveling on a flat surface. Last, he starts traveling downhill.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close, my opinion may be that the ant traveled away from the the hole stayed at that distance for a short period of time and traveled back to the hole.. but with more detail of what the graph shows..

OpenStudy (richgall____):

k thanks !

umerlodhi (umerlodhi):

im very qualified check my title bro

OpenStudy (richgall____):

lol i see ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good luck
