A graph is drawn to represent a relationship between distance, d, and time, t.

Question illustration
A
Each point shows the distance, in feet, above the ground of a falling object after t seconds, where the falling speed increases as time increases.
B
Each point shows the distance, in feet, covered t seconds after a brake is applied, where the speed of the car decreases by a constant factor.
C
Each point shows the distance, in feet, traveled by an airplane on a runway by gradually increasing speed t seconds after being approved for takeoff.
D
Each point shows the remaining distance, in feet, to the finish line of a race t seconds after a runner begins the final stretch and runs at a constant speed.

A pattern of rectangles is formed by decreasing the length and increasing the width, each by the same amount. The relationship between x, the amount of increase, and A, the area of the rectangle represented by the increase, is quadratic.Which graph could represent the area of each rectangle in terms of the change in the length and width?

Question illustration
A
A graph shows change in dimensions (units) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and area (square units) on the vertical axis. A straight line decreases from 0 to 9 units.
Option A
B
A graph shows change in dimensions (units) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and area (square units) on the vertical axis. A line decreases from 0 to 3 units, increases from 3 to 6 seconds, and decreases from 6 to 9 seconds.
Option B
C
A graph shows change in dimensions (units) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and area (square units) on the vertical axis. A line increases from 0 to 3 seconds then decreases from 3 to 9 seconds.
Option C
D
A graph shows change in dimensions (units) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and area (square units) on the vertical axis. A curved line decreases from 0 to 9 units.

The speed of a falling object increases at a constant rate as time increases since the object was dropped. Which graph could represent the relationship between t, time in seconds, and s, speed in meters per second?

Question illustration
A
A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) on the vertical axis. A line increases from 0 to 10 seconds.
Option A
B
A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) on the vertical axis. A line decreases from 0 to 4 seconds.
Option B
C
A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) on the vertical axis. A line increases from 0 to 4.5 seconds.
Option C
D
A graph shows dropping time (seconds) labeled 1 to 10 on the horizontal axis and object speed (meters per second) on the vertical axis. A line decreases from 1 to 9 seconds.
Option D
