Is the following graph a function?  If no, explain.

No, it fails the vertical line test.

Find the slope between the following points:

(-4,5) & (0, 17)

m = 3

The graph represents the speed of a bicycle going down a hill.  Identify the independent and dependent variables.

Independent: Time (seconds)

Dependent:  Speed (mph)

Identify the following about the given sequence: 

3, -6, 12, -24, 48

a) Is the sequence arithmetic or non-arithmetic?  Justify your answer with work like your notes.

b) What are the next 2 terms?  Provide regardless of your answer in part 'a' and show your work.

a) Non-arithmetic.  The sequence goes from 3 to -6, which is a difference of -9. From -6 to 12 the difference is 18.  There is NO common difference.

b) The pattern is multiplied by -2.  -2(48) = -96 and -2(-96) = 192.  The next two terms are -96 and 192.

200

Is the following mapping a function?  Why or why not?

Yes, every input has only one output.

Find the slope between the following points:

(6,-1) & (6, 5)

m= Undefined

Determine the type of each domain as continuous or discrete.

a) A plane taking off and reaching a cruising altitude.

b) The amount of shots I make playing a round of golf.

a) Continuous

b) Discrete

Find the simplified explicit rule for the given sequence.

an = 12n + 8

The following graph represents the path of football being thrown.  What is the height of the football at 3 seconds and describe what is happening at this point in time.

The height of the football is 8 ft and the football got deflected off the receiver or defense player, which is why it went back into the air after t = 3 seconds.
