McKenzie told her friend, “If you increase my age by 8, multiply that quantity by 1/2 , and then subtract 6, you get 5.” Write an equation that matches McKenzie’s description using x as the variable. a) x+8x1/2-6=5

b)1/2x+8-6=5

c)1/2(x+8-6)=5

d)1/2(x+8)-6=5

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.
