Because he drove 1542.75 miles in 3 days, you would have to divide 1542.75 by 3 to figure out how many miles he drove in one day.
1542.75/3 = 514.25
Then to figure out how many miles he drove per hour, you would divide 514.25 by 8.5, which is the same as 8 1/2 hours.
514.25/8.5 = 60.5
So the answer is 60.5 mph
Let's you and me discuss a few things that you already know:
-- What's a y-intercept ?
The y-intercept on a graph is the place where it crosses the y-axis.
-- That's the value of 'x' at the y-intercept ?
The y-intercept is on the y-axis, so 'x' is zero there.
-- Good ! So how would you find the y-intercept of a function ?
You say that x=0 and look at what 'y' is.
-- Very nice. What's the function in this question ?
The function is
f(x) [or 'y'] = x⁴ + 4x³ - 12x² -32x + 64 .
-- Excellent. What's the value oif that function (or 'y') when x=0 ?
It's just 64 .
-- Beautiful.
Are there any answer choices that cross the y-axis at 64 ?
How many are there ?
There's only one.
It's the upper one on the right hand side.
The answer would be D. Conditional Statement
