The table below represents the displacement of a bird from its nest as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from nest (miles) y 0 12 1 20 2 28 3 36 4 44 part
a. what is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the bird? part
b. calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. part
c. what would be the domain of the function if the bird continued to fly at this rate until it traveled 172 miles from the nest?
