In a video game, airplanes move from left to right along the path described by y = 2 + 1 x. They can shoot rockets tangent to the direction of flight at targets on the x-axis located at x = 1 , 2 , 3 ,and 4. Will a rocket fired from ( 1 , 3 ) hit a target? Will a rocket fired from ( 2 , 2.5 ) hit a target? Will a rocket fired from ( 3 , 2.25 ) hit a target?

Three archers each fire four arrows at a target. Joe’s four arrows hit points that are spread around in a region that goes 10 cm above, 10 cm below, 10 cm to the left, and 10 cm to the right of the center of the target. All four of Moe’s arrows hit within 1 cm of a point 20 cm from the center, and Flo’s four arrows hit within 1 cm of the center. The contest judge says that one of the archers is precise but not accurate, another archer is accurate but not precise, and the third archer is both accurate and precise. Which description applies to which archer? Explain.
