  1. The table shows the time it takes a computer program to run, given the number of files used as input. Using a cubic model, what do you predict the run time will be if the input consists of 1000 files?

    Files Time(s)
    100 0.5
    200 0.9
    300 3.5
    400 8.2
    500 14.8
  2. Suppose you hit a ball and its flight follows the graph of f open x close equals negative 16 , x squared , plus 20 x plus 3 .  How many seconds will it take for the ball to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest second.
  3. What is the multiplicity of the zeros of y equals 16 , x squared , minus 8 x plus 1 question mark
  4. What is the slope of the line shown?
  5. What is the degree of the polynomial function y equals negative 9 , x cubed , minus , 5 x squared , minus , 2 x to the fifth , plus 4 x plus , x to the fourth , plus 1 question mark

    A graph of a line falls through (negative 4, 5) and (4, negative 2). All values are approximate.
