The distance, d(t), in feet, a bug has traveled is shown in the graph. A coordinate plane with a function d of t consisting of a line starting at 0 comma 1 rising to 1 comma 2, a horizontal line from 1 comma 2 to 2 comma 2, a line falling from 2 comma 2 to 3 comma 1, and a line falling from 3 comma 1 to 6 comma 0.

Estimate the rate of change in the distance of the bug at time t = 4 seconds.

Select one:
a. negative one third
b. the limit as t approaches 4 of the function d of t feet per second
c. d(4) ft/s
d. 0.7 ft/s

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
