Kiki starts her run at 5:00 p.m.  Let f(t) represent Kiki’s speed, in miles per hour, t hours after she starts running for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4.  The following information holds for the function f:

f(1) = 5

f(4) = 2

f(2) = 8

f(1) < f(3)

Kiki’s fastest speed occurs at 7:00 p.m.  Given this information, which of the following must be true?  Select all that apply.

• At 8:00 p.m., Kiki’s speed was at least 5 miles per hour.

• At 6:30 p.m., Kiki’s speed was at most 8 miles per hour

• Kiki ran at most 32 miles.

Billy buys light bulbs in packs of 8 for $20. The shipping cost is $10 regardless of the number of packs bought.  Billy has only $120 to spend.

If n is the number of packs of lightbulbs bought, then the cost per lightbulb, C, can be modeled as a function of n.  Select the statement that correctly descriptives the domain of the function.

• The domain is the set of all real numbers 1 ≤ n ≤ 6.

• The domain is the set of all real numbers 1 ≤ n ≤ 5.

• The domain is the set of all integers  1 ≤ n ≤ 6.

• The domain is the set of all integers 1 ≤ n ≤ 5.

Sue hits a ball from a height of 4 feet.  The height of the ball above the ground is a function of the horizontal distance the ball travels until it comes to rest on the ground.  Consider this complete graph of the function.

Select all values that are in the domain of the function as shown in the graph.

• -5 feet

• 0 feet

• 60 feet

• 200 feet

A student examines two graphs representing the functions f(x) = x + 5 and g(x) = x² + 5.  The student notices that the graphs both have a y-intercept at the point (0, 5).  The student makes the following claim:

“For any real number c, the y-intercepts for the graphs of y = c ∙ f(x) and y = c ∙ g(x) are the same.”

Is this true or false?

If it is TRUE, enter the y-coordinate of the y-intercept in terms of c. (0, ​ (a)   )

If its FALSE, enter the y-coordinates of the y-intercepts of  two graphs that are a counter-example. (0, ​ (b)   ) (0, ​ (c)   )

• True

• There are two intervals of time where the mouse population decreases.

• True

• The mouse population was the greatest around day 160.

• True
