Plz help Asap! A serval, an African wildcat, leaps high above the ground to pounce on its prey. The height of the serval above the ground in relation to the horizontal distance it travels, both measured in feet, is modeled by the given function.

What does the domain of the function represent in this situation?

A.
the horizontal distance the serval travels during its leap
B.
the height of the serval along the path of its leap
C.
the horizontal distance at which the serval reaches its maximum height above the ground
D.
the maximum height the serval reaches above the ground

A. the horizontal distance the serval travels during its leap

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, the height along the path that the serval leaps is represented on the y-axis (range value), as against its corresponding horizontal distance on the y-axis (domain value) during the course of its leap.

Therefore, in this situation, the the horizontal distance the serval travels during its leap is the domain of the function.

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
