On a coordinate plane, a curved line with minimum values of (negative 0.8, negative 2.8) and (3, 0), and a maximum value of (1.55, 10.8), crosses the x-axis at (negative 2.5, 0), (0, 0), and (3, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, 0). Which interval for the graphed function contains the local maximum?

i believe it is 0.1m because the measurement of 30.4m limits how precise you can be

you can only be as precise as the least precise measurement

my apex says that it is false

8.75

how-to:

first, we need to find what we have to work with.

since i know that we have 7 (years) and 0.8 (inches), we can use these to solve and find the equation!

secondly, what you want to do, is see that we need to know how much growth out of the 0.8 inches he got in only 1 year, instead of 7 years.

let's try to divide.

7 ÷ 0.8 = 8.75
