Accepted Solution
A:
Part 1:
The y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero. It is the initial value of a function represented by a graph.
Given that the first time a census was taken in Esinville, the population was 12,621, then the coordinates of the point that contains the y-intercept is (0, 12621)
Part 2:
Given that he notices the price is getting more expensive, at a rate of 7% per week (i.e. the graph increases from left to right). Thus, the graph does not decrease from left to right but increases from left to right.
Given that the first time he bought them, they cost $2.60, thus point (0, 2.60) is on the graph.
From the graph it can be seen that the graph crosses the x axis at a negative value of x, thus point (2.6, 0) in not on the graph; the graph have only a y axis (since it is not possible to have a negative number of biscuit).
Therefore, the statements that are true are:
The point (0, 2.60) is on the graph.
The graph has a y-intercept only.
The graph increases from left to right.
Part 3:
The amount of subtance left of a radioactive substance after a time of t seconds is given by:
[tex]N(t)=N_0e^{-kt}[/tex]
where t ≥ 0.
Therefore, the graph is in the positive x-axis and because exponential function always results in a postive number the graph is also in the positive y-axis.
Since the graph is in the positive x-axis (i.e. x is positive) and the graph is also in the positive y-axis (i.e. y is positive), the graph is in the 1st quadrant.
Therefore, the quadrant in which the scientist will sketch the graph is in quadrant 1 only.
Part 4:
From the given graph it an be seen that as the altitude continues to increase, the atmospheric pressure approaches 0 oz/cm^2.
It can also be seen that as the altitude decreases, the atmospheric pressure increases.
Therefore, the statements accurately reflect this relationship are:
As the altitude continues to increase, the atmospheric pressure approaches 0 oz/cm2 .
As the altitude decreases, the atmospheric pressure increases.
Part 5:
From the graph it can be seen that as the number of cake tiers increases without bound, the total monthly sales increase without bound.
Therefore, the true statement is:
As the number of cake tiers increases without bound, the total monthly sales increase without bound.
