A researcher observes and records the height of a weight moving up and down on the end of a spring. At the beginning of the observation the weight was at its highest point. From its resting position, it takes 20 seconds for the weight to reach its highest position, fall to its lowest position, and return to its resting position. The difference between the lowest and the highest points is 6 in. Assume the resting position is at y = 0.

Given f(x)= 9x+1 and g(x)=x^3, choose the expression (f*g)(x)

A. plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3 9 x -2 -1 0 1 2 g(x) -4 -2 0 2 4 b. which function could be described as exponential and which as linear? explain. c. if the functions continue with the same pattern, will the function values ever be equal? if so, give estimates for the value of x that will make the function values equals. if not, explain why the function values will never be equal.

Aclassmate thinks that solving a system by graphing gives an exact answer when the lines appear to cross at a grid point, but only an approximate answer when they don't. explain why this isn't true.
