Two common types of curves are horizontal curves (turning left and right) and vertical curves (driving over a hill or through a valley). ? lenka/20253592/FotoliaEngineers typically use a polynomial to describe the shape of vertical curves. The equation of three vertical curves is given. Each represents the shape of the road for a distance of x feet for {x|0 x 400}.Vertical Curve A: y –0.000 112 5x2 0.04x 100 Vertical Curve B: y 0.000 112 5x2 0.02x 100Vertical Curve C: y 0.0003x2 0.12x 100a.What type of polynomial is represented by each equation?b.By just looking at the equations, which of the curves do you expect to represent similar driving conditions? Explain your choice.c.Graph each of the functions to check your response to question b. Hint: Using a domain of 0 x 400 and a range of 0 y 200 will work well for these functions.

His coach took pictures of the ball with a time-lapse camera and measured the height of the ball versus time since the throw.The coach was hoping this information could help Liam to improve his throwing ability. The coach recorded the information in the following chart:Time (s)00.20.40.60.81.01.21.4Height (cm)152272358402405366297181a.What would be the most appropriate regression model to use in this situation, explain your reasoning?State an appropriate domain and range.

People who have this disease cannot tolerate gluten, which is a protein found in many grain products such as wheat, barley, and rye. In recent years, the incidence of diagnosed cases of this disease has risen dramatically. The following data has been collected on the incidence of celiac disease since 1950.Years Since 1950081624324048525660Diagnosed Cases of Celiac 10001011141311912183140Create a scatter plot of this data.
