Problem 3 Got It? Suppose you start to swing yourself on a playground swing. You move back and forth and swing higher in the air. Then you slowly swing to a stop. Sketch a graph that could represent how your height from the ground might change over time. Label each section.

Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Review Lesson 3-8:
Match each set below with the union or intersection it represents.
Sets may be used more than once. Some sets may not be used at all.
  • {}
  • {-1, 1, 3, 4, 7, 12}
  • {-3, -1, 1, 3, 4, 5}
  • {1}
  • {1, 4}
  • A ⋃ B
  • A ∩ B
  • B ⋃ C
  • A ∩ C
