For her birthday, Kendra received a gift card in the mail from her grandparents. The gift card was worth $50. Kendra thought, since she had just received other gifts for her birthday, she would wait a while to spend the gift card. Unfortunately, Kendra forgot all about the gift card, and the card loses $5 every month after its date of purchase if it has not been used. If Kendra forgot the card for three months, she lost $. 15 9 12 10

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
