EXPERT HELP NEEDED for Question 6 ONLY: Please provide a response Question 6 below. Included is information for the other questions to reference. The incorrect response for Question 6 is also included; this cannot be the response.

Background: Nevin and Bruce are climbing a mountain.The mountain has two trails.One gets drastically steeper near the top, and the other is more gradual.Nevin and Bruce take different trails and race up the mountain.

Question 1:The function that represents Bruce's elevation in feet over time in hours is an exponential function that starts at 1,505 feet. The first hour, his elevation change is six feet.Each successive hour, his average elevation change for the hike becomes six times the previous hourly elevation change.What is the function for Bruce's elevation?Is it an exponential growth or an exponential decay function?

RESPONSE: Bruce's elevation function is B(h)=1505 x 6^t

B=6 is greater than 1, making it an exponential growth function.

Question 2:The function N(t) = 80.375t^2 +1505 represents Nevin's elevation in feet over time in hours.How would you show this in vertex form to find the minimum or maximum?What is the vertex?Is it a minimum or a maximum?

RESPONSE: Nevin's functions is already in vertex form: N(t) = 80.375t^2 +1505

The vertex is (0,1505).

Since the leading coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upward, making the vertex a minimum.

Question 3: Find they-interceptfor Nevin's and Bruce's functions.Do both functions have the samey-intercept?

RESPONSE: y-intercept for Bruce is (0,1505)

y-intercept for Nevin is (0,1505)

This means that both Bruce and Nevin have the same y-intercept, which is 1505 feet.

Question 4:Graph the two functions by replacingtwithxandB(t) andN(t) withy.Paste the graph below.
