The graph below shows the height of a kicked soccer ball f(x), in feet, depending on the distance from the kicker x, in feet: part a: what do the x-intercepts and maximum value of the graph represent? what are the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, and what do they represent about the distance and height? (6 points) part b: what is an approximate average rate of change of the graph from x = 22 to x = 26, and what does this rate represent? (4 points

the complete question in the attached figure

part A

the x intercept 0 is the point where the ball was hit, the x intercept 20 is the point where the ball fell back to the ground, 20 feet away from the kicker.

the function is increasing in the interval x∈(0, 10) and decreasing in x∈(10, 20) 
this means that the height is increasing in the interval  (0, 10) and decreasing as x goes through the interval (10,20)
the distance from the kicker is increasing during the whole interval (0, 20)

part B

the rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases or increases in the interval 

x =[A, B]

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
