  6. Answer the two questions after the graphs below.
    Time versus space, space versus space graphs text layers time: duration (seconds) space: distance (cm) east-west space: distance (cm) space: dist (cm) north-south
    a. What does the line with the points on the above left graph represent?


    b. What do the three lines on the above right graph represent?


  7. Use the information on the graph below to answer the questions that follow. Note that the LINEST functions have changed from quiz 03.
    Ball roll data from physical science laboratory two background rectangle major grid lines axes x-axis and y-axis linear regression line data points as circles linear regression line data points as circles text layers SC 130 Lab Two A rolling sphere gathers no moss time (seconds) distance (cm) y1: d = 450t y2: d = 200t

    ___________________ Using the information on the graph, predict the distance the y1 ball would roll after 8 seconds.

    ___________________ Using the information on the graph, predict the time it would take the y1 ball to roll 3000 centimeters.

    ___________________ Using the information on the graph, predict the distance the y2 ball would roll after 8 seconds.

    ___________________ Using the information on the graph, predict the time it would take the y2 ball to roll 3000 centimeters.
  8. Use the following graph and equation to answer the question that follows the graph and equation
    Arc of a sphere text layers space: distance (cm) space: distance (cm) r = 200 cm k = 200 cm
    y = − ( k r2 ) x2 + k
    Write the equation of this function, simplifying as appropriate, using the information provided in the graph and equation above.
