Rowan wants to justify that f(x) 3x-7 is a linear function. if she evaluates f(x) for consecutive integer values, which statement justices the claim that f is a linear function?
a. there is a common difference of -7 for f(x) when x increase by 1
b. there is a common factor of -7 for f(x) when x increase by 1
c. there is a common different of 3 for f(x) when x increase by 1
d. there is a common factor of 3 for f(x) when x increase by 1

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) 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. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)

Rewrite the following quadratic functions in intercept or factored form. show your work. f(t) = 20t^2 + 14t - 12

Astudy was interested in determining if eating milk chocolate lowered someone's cholesterol levels.ten people's cholesterol was measured. then, each of these individuals were told to eat 100g of milk chocolate every day and to eat as they normally did. after two weeks, their cholesterol levels were measured again. is there evidence to support that their cholesterol levels went down? how should we write the alternative hypothesis? (mud = the population mean difference= before - after)a. ha: mud = 0b. ha: mud > 0c. ha: mud < 0d. ha: mud does not equal 0
