A set of data is graphed on a scatter plot. Which scatter plot of the data shows a line that could be used to best model the relationship of the data?

A. [Image Description: A scatter plot with the xx-axis from 00 to 1010 and the yy-axis from 00 to 88. Data points are scattered showing a general downward trend from left to right. A line with a steep negative slope is drawn through the data, declining sharply from the upper-left to the lower-right.]
B. [Image Description: A scatter plot with the same data points as in option A. A roughly horizontal line is drawn through the data, suggesting little to no relationship between xx and yy.]
C. [Image Description: A scatter plot with the same data points as in option A. A line with a moderate negative slope is drawn through the center of the data, closely following the general downward trend of the points.]
D. [Image Description: A scatter plot with the same data points as in option A. A line with a positive slope is drawn through the data, suggesting an upward trend from left to right, which contradicts the downward pattern of the data points.]

The diagram below shows a person flying a kite. They let out 2020 feet of string and are holding the end of the string 44 feet above the ground. The kite is directly above a spot on the ground that is 1515 feet away from where they are standing.

Image Description: A diagram showing a person on the left holding a kite string at 44 feet above the ground. The string extends 2020 feet to a kite in the upper right. The horizontal distance along the ground from the person to the point directly below the kite is 1515 feet. A dashed vertical line from the ground to the kite's height is shown, with xx representing the vertical distance from the person's hand height to the kite, and 44 ft representing the height from the ground to the horizontal level. A right angle is marked where the vertical meets the horizontal.

Classify 1.44\sqrt{1.44} as being rational or irrational.

Explain how you know your answer is correct.

Answer:

Rational

Solution:

1.44=1.2\sqrt{1.44} = 1.2 because 1.22=1.441.2^2 = 1.44. Since 1.21.2 is a terminating decimal, it can be written as 65\frac{6}{5}, which is a ratio of two integers. Therefore, 1.44\sqrt{1.44} is rational.

Function B: y=x2+2y = x^2 + 2

Classify each function as linear or nonlinear.

Explain how you determined your answer.

Answer:

Function A is linear. Function B is nonlinear.

Solution:

Function A, y=3x+8y = 3x + 8, is linear because it is in the form y=mx+by = mx + b, where the exponent of xx is 11. Function B, y=x2+2y = x^2 + 2, is nonlinear because the exponent of xx is 22, making it a quadratic function.

The graph shown below represents the time and speed of a roller coaster over the course of the entire ride.

Image Description: A graph titled "ROLLER COASTER SPEED" with the xx-axis labeled "Time (seconds)" ranging from 00 to 4545 and the yy-axis labeled "Speed (mph)" ranging from 00 to 9090. The curve starts at (0,0)(0, 0) and increases non-linearly (a curve) up to a peak of approximately 5050 mph around t=25t = 25 seconds. From 2525 to 3030 seconds, the speed decreases quickly along a non-linear curve down to 3030 mph. From 3030 to 4040 seconds, the roller coaster travels at a constant speed of 3030 mph (a horizontal line segment). From 4040 to 4545 seconds, the speed decreases at a constant rate (a straight line) from 3030 mph to 00 mph.

Based on the graph, during what interval of time, in seconds, is the speed, in miles per hour, of the roller coaster constant? Be sure to include what the constant speed is, in miles per hour, for that interval in your answer.

Explain your answer.

Answer:

From 00 to 55 seconds, the speed is constant at 00 mph.

Solution:

From 00 to 55 seconds, the graph shows a horizontal line segment at 00 mph. A horizontal line on a speed-vs-time graph indicates that the speed is not changing, so the speed is constant at 00 mph during that interval.

What will be the coordinates of vertex A'?

Explain how you determined your answer.

Answer:

A(3,4)A'(3, 4)

Solution:

When a point is reflected over the yy-axis, the xx-coordinate changes sign and the yy-coordinate stays the same. Since A=(3,4)A = (-3, 4), the reflection gives A=(3,4)A' = (3, 4).

A student used the diagram shown below to support their work in representing the relationship among the lengths of the sides, in units, of a right triangle.

Image Description: A diagram showing a right triangle with sides labeled aa, bb, and cc. Squares are drawn on each side of the triangle: a square with side length aa, a square with side length bb, and a square with side length cc (the hypotenuse). The square on side aa appears to be a 3×33 \times 3 grid (9 unit squares), the square on side bb appears to be a 4×44 \times 4 grid (16 unit squares), and the square on side cc appears to be a 5×55 \times 5 grid (25 unit squares).

The student then showed how the diagram relates to the Pythagorean theorem, but made an error as shown below.

a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2

52+42=325^2 + 4^2 = 3^2

25+16925 + 16 \neq 9

41941 \neq 9

What is the error that the student made and what are the correct steps needed to show how the Pythagorean theorem shows the relationship among the lengths of the sides, in units, of the right triangle?

Explain your answer.

Answer:

The student incorrectly assigned the side lengths. The hypotenuse cc should be 55, not 33.

Solution:

The student's error was substituting 55 and 44 for the legs (aa and bb) and 33 for the hypotenuse (cc). In the Pythagorean theorem, cc is the longest side (the hypotenuse). The correct substitution is:

a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2

32+42=523^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

9+16=259 + 16 = 25

Points are plotted at (1,7)(1, 7), (2,14)(2, 14), (3,21)(3, 21), (4,28)(4, 28), and (5,35)(5, 35), showing a proportional relationship with a rate of 77 hours per night.

Total Number of NightsTotal Time (hours)

545

Based on the graph and the table, determine who gets more sleep per night.

Explain how you determined your answer.

Answer:

Mark gets more sleep per night.

Solution:

Kaley's rate: From the graph, the points show a proportional relationship. Using the point (1,7)(1, 7), Kaley sleeps 71=7\frac{7}{1} = 7 hours per night.

Mark's rate: From the table, 182=9\frac{18}{2} = 9 hours per night (or 273=9\frac{27}{3} = 9, 364=9\frac{36}{4} = 9, 455=9\frac{45}{5} = 9).

Since 9>79 > 7, Mark gets more sleep per night than Kaley.
