### Understanding Increasing Functions

#### Problem Statement:

Given a function \( s(x) \) such that \( s'(x) > 1 \) on the interval \([0, 7]\). If \( s(0) = -9 \), which of the following could be the value of \( s(7) \)? Select all correct values.

#### Options:

- \[ \quad \] \(-17\)
- \[ \quad \] \(-8\)
- \[ \quad \] \(12\)
- \[ \quad \] \(15\)
- \[ \quad \] \(21\)

#### Explanation:

1. **Understanding the Condition \( s'(x) > 1 \):**
   - This implies that the derivative of \( s(x) \) is always greater than 1 on the interval \([0, 7]\). 
   - A derivative greater than 1 means the function \( s(x) \) is increasing at a rate faster than a linear function with a slope of 1.
   
2. **Calculating the Minimum Increase:**
   - Since the rate at which \( s(x) \) increases is always greater than 1, the minimum increase in \( s(x) \) over the interval \([0, 7]\) can be calculated as:
     \[
     s(7) - s(0) > 7 \cdot 1 = 7
     \]
   - Given \( s(0) = -9 \):
     \[
     s(7) > -9 + 7 = -2
     \]
   - Therefore, \( s(7) \) must be greater than \(-2\).

3. **Evaluating the Options:**
   - \(-17\) is not greater than \(-2\).
   - \(-8\) is not greater than \(-2\).
   - \(12\) is greater than \(-2\).
   - \(15\) is greater than \(-2\).
   - \(21\) is greater than \(-2\).
   
Based on this evaluation, the correct values for \( s(7) \) are:

- \[ \quad \] \(12\)
- \[ \quad \] \(15\)
- \[ \quad \] \(21\)
