1. The curve y = (x - 1)(x – 5) cuts the x-axis at A and B and the y-axis at C. (a) Find the coordinates of A and B.
(b) Hence, find the coordinates of the turning point, M.
Is M a maximum or a minimum point?
(c) Find the coordinates of C.
(d) Sketch the graph of y = (x - 1)(x - 5).

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
