Textbook Question

Chapter 9.B, Problem 4QQ

Suppose that Figure 9. 11 is an accurate representation of elevation changes for the first 3 miles of a much longer trail. If you have no data other than those shown, what should you predict for the elevation at mile 5 of the trail?

The elevation is \[(800 + 5 \times 650)\] feet.

You should not make a prediction, because the elevation at 5 miles must be higher than the 10,000-foot maximum shown on the graph.

You should not make a prediction, because mile 5 of the trail is not within the domain of the function shown.
