The cost of a long-distance phone call is a function of the length of the call in minutes. If the costs of the four calls shown in the table are graphed with minutes on the horizontal axis and cost on the vertical axis, what does the slope of the graph represent?
Long-Distance Calls Call in minutes Cost
5 $0.65
10 $1.30
15 $1.95
20 $2.60
A rate of $0.13 per minute
The total cost per call
An average time of 5 minutes between calls
An average of 12.5 minutes per cal

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.

Henry's butcher shop uses an electronic scale that measures to 1/100 of a pound. which is the most accurate measurement based on the limitations of the scale that might be found on a package of meat sold by henry?

Three consecutive even numbers have a sum between 84 and 96. a. write an inequality to find the three numbers. let n represent the smallest even number. b. solve the inequality. a. 84 ≤ n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) ≤ 96 b. 78 ≤ n ≤ 90 a. 84 < n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) < 96 b. 26 < n < 30 a. 84 < n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) < 96 b. 27 < n < 31 a. n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) < –84 or n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) > 96 b. n < –30 or n > 31
