The hikers plan to visit scenic Lookout. They will rest after they hike 2 miles. Then they will hike the remaining 1 3/4 miles to the lookout. The trail the hikers will use to return from the lookout is 1/2 mile shorter than the trail they will used to go to the lookout. Each hiker will bring 1/4 gallon of water for each mile to and from the lookout. Determine the total distance each hiker will hike. Show your work. Then determine the total number of gallons of water each hiker will bring. Show your work.​

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
