Decide whether y is a function of x.
y=-3x-4

An annual marathon covers a route that has a distance of approximately 26 miles. winning times for this marathon are all over 2 hours. the following data are the minutes over 2 hours for the winning male runners over two periods of 20 years each. earlier period 14 12 15 22 13 10 19 13 9 14 20 18 16 20 23 12 18 17 6 13 recent period 7 11 7 14 8 9 11 14 8 7 9 8 7 9 9 9 9 8 10 8 (a) make a stem-and-leaf display for the minutes over 2 hours of the winning times for the earlier period. use two lines per stem. (use the tens digit as the stem and the ones digit as the leaf. enter none in any unused answer blanks. for more details, view how to split a stem.) minutes beyond 2 hours earlier period 0 1 2 (b) make a stem-and-leaf display for the minutes over 2 hours of the winning times for the recent period. use two lines per stem. (use the tens digit as the stem and the ones digit as the leaf. enter none in any unused answer blanks.) minutes beyond 2 hours recent period (c) compare the two distributions. how many times under 15 minutes are in each distribution

6x + 3y = -6 2x + y = -2 a. x = 0, y = -2 b. infinite solutions c. x = -1, y = 0 d. no solution

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
