The standards for mathematical proficiency state that we should want students to not only know the concepts but also to how to use them to problem solve. What statement below reflects how a proficient mathematical student might think? A) I consider the traditional algorithm my go to solution strategy.
B) When I encounter a wrong path I generally skip that problem.
C) I always look for shortcuts and never consider alternative methods.
D) When I complete a problem I wonder if there are other answers that could be right.

The table below represents the displacement of a fish from its reef as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from reef (feet) y 0 4 1 64 2 124 3 184 4 244 part a: what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the fish? (4 points) part b: calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points) part c: what would be the domain of the function if the fish continued to swim at this rate until it traveled 724 feet from the reef? (2 points)
