Here is a circle, centre O, and the tangent to the circle at the
point (-7, 24) on the circle.
P (-7, 24)
X
-25
25
Find an equation of the tangent at the point P.
Give your answer in the form y = ax + b where a and b are both
fractions with denominator 24.

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
