Willie Crash was out Sunday flying in his spaceship. As he approached Mars, he changed his mind, and decided that he did not wish to visit that planet and fired his retro-rocket. The spaceship slowed down, and if all went well (or did it?), stopped for an instant then started pulling away. While the rocket motor was firing, Willie's distance, d, from the surface of Mars depended by a quadratic function on the number of minutes, t, since he started firing the retro-rocket. Willie finds that at time t= 1, 2, and 3 minutes, his distances were d= 425, 356, and 293 kilometers, respectfully. what is the INDEPENDENT variable? (t or d)

what is the DEPENDENT variable? (t or d)

what does the INDEPENDENT variable represent? 1. the distance D from the surface of Mars OR 2.The number of minutes Titi since he started firing the retro-rocket

High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation’s most selective colleges in greater numbers each year. because the number of slots remains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. suppose that for a recent admissions class, an ivy league college received 2851 applications for early admission. of this group, it admitted 1033 students early, rejected 854 outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration. in the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicants during the regular admission process. counting the students admitted early and the students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class size was 2375. let e, r, and d represent the events that a student who applies for early admission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regular admissions pool.suppose a student applies for early admission. what is the probability that the student will be admitted for early admission or be deferred and later admitted during the regular admission process?
