You have used the Distributive Property to transform numerical expressions such as (5) 38 + {2)(3) to (5 + 2)(3). How would you transform 5x + 2x into a single term? Substitute five different values into the expressions 5x + 2x and 7x - 1. What do you notice about the values of the expressions? Is there any value that would make the two espressions equal? Why or why not?

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.
