Question

The table shows the distance in feet, y, that a rocket traveled in x seconds.

Choose the function that represents the data.
A.y =
`(x)/(25)`
B.y =
`x^(25)`
C.y = 25x
D.y =
`25x^(2)`

Answer 1

The correct option is D. y = 25.

Explanation:

i) From the table and our own observation and a trial and error approach we

can clearly see that the equation that matches y in feet ( the distance

traveled by the rocket) and x in seconds ( the time elapsed) is given by the

equation y = 25

Therefore the correct option is D. y = 25.

Answer 2

The correct option is D. y = 25
`x^(2)`.

Explanation:

i) From the table and our own observation and a trial and error approach we

can clearly see that the equation that matches y in feet ( the distance

traveled by the rocket) and x in seconds ( the time elapsed) is given by the

equation y = 25
`x^(2)`

Therefore the correct option is D. y = 25
`x^(2)`.
