The table contains data on the number of people visiting a historical landmark over a period of one week. Which type of function best models the relationship between the day and the number of visitors? A. A quadratic function with a positive value of a
B. A square root function
C. A linear function with a positive slope
D. A quadratic function with a negative value of a

Hence , it is to be quadratic function where a has to be less than zero.

Given that ,

The table contains data on the number of people visiting a historical landmark over a period of one week.

We have to find,

The relationship between the day and the number of visitors.

According to the question,

And where x = no. of days = 1

y = no. of visitors = 45

45 = a + b

45 = a + b

And When x = 2 and y = 86

86 =

Solving the equation for the values of a and b.

From equation 1

45 - a = b

Put the value of b in equation 2

86 = + 45 - a

86 - 45 =

41 = a ( )

a = 100

Put the value of a = 100

45 = 100 + b

45 - 100 = b

b = -55

The required equation is y = 100 -55.

When  x = 4

And when x = 5

y = 168 ( approx )

Therefore, 168 ≠ 158

Since the function rises less and less in later stage , it can not be a first order function.

So, it is to be quadratic function where a has to be less than zero.

answer: b.48 for

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
