Question

A falcon swoops down to snatch an animal from the ground before flying back into the air. Her height above the ground in feet is shown after x seconds. What does the x intercept(s) represent?

Answer 1

We are given a graph of the height of a falcon with respect to time. The x-intercept of the graph represents the height of the falcon when x = 0, that is, the initial height. since the graph shows that the x-intercept is 8, this means that the falcon starts 8 feet in the air.
