The distance, y, in centimeters, of an ant from a hole in the tree for a certain amount of time, x, in seconds, is shown in the graph: part a: is the graph linear or nonlinear? explain your answer. (2 points) part b: in which segments is the graph increasing, decreasing, and constant? (3 points) part c: in your own words, describe the motion of the ant, as shown on the graph. (5 points)

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
