Consider the quadratic function f(x) = x2 – 5x + 12. Which statements are true about the function and its graph? Select three options. The value of f(–10) = 82
The graph of the function is a parabola.
The graph of the function opens down.
The graph contains the point (20, –8).
The graph contains the point (0, 0).
ANSWER: A, B,D

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

17.08

correct me if i am wrong.

30 feet

step-by-step explanation:

that would be 2 1/2 * 12

= 24 + 6

= 30 feet   (answer)
