Paisley is playing with a yo-yo. The following graph traces the path of the yo-yo while it is in the air, where y is the height of the yo-yo above the ground, and x is the time, in seconds, from when the yo-yo leaves Paisley's hand Five stages of the yo-yo's path are marked on the graph.
Which of the five stages shows the slowest rate of change in the yo-yo's height above the ground?
А
В
C
D

C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can notice that the yo-yo crosses five positions: A,B,C,D and E.

The path created by the yo-yo has a parabolic form.

● In the area C, the yoyo crosses the vertex in wich the rate of change equals 0.

●In A the parabola decreases dramatically

● In B, the parabola is decreasing but slower than A.

● In D, the parabola is increasing in a fast way

● In E, the parabola is increasing faster than D.

● In the first half of C, the parabola is decreasing slower than B and A.

● At the vertex, the parabola has a null rate of change.

● In the second half of C, the parabola is increasing but slower than D and E.

So we deduce that C has the slowest rate of change.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1

3/6 chance

step-by-step explanation:

half of the nubers are odd numbers (1,3,5) which in that case if you would be told to simplify it would be 1/2
