A function has the following properties: • It is increasing and linear when the value of x is between -5 and -3.
. It remains constant when the value of x is between -3 and 0.
• It is decreasing and linear when the value of x is between 0 and 3.
• It is increasing and nonlinear when the value of x is between 3 and 5
Which graph best represents this function?

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
