The answer is D. SF is .4
9514 1404 393
Answer:
1. b. The common difference is 0.39
2. no good answer (Zach's method is exponential; Victoria's is linear)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The differences in mileage are ...
24.39 -24 = 0.39
24.78 -24.39 = 0.39
25.17 -24.78 = 0.39
The common difference is 0.39.
____
2. Zach's monthly times are ...
10, 20, 40, 80
The differences are ...
10, 20, 40
The ratios are ...
20/10 = 40/20 = 80/40 = 2
Zach's times have a common ratio, so are exponential.
__
Victoria's monthly times are ...
35, 50, 65, 80
The differences are ...
15, 15, 15
Victoria's times have a common difference, so are linear.
__
The choices are ...
a. both exponential; common factor . . . . correct for Zach; not for Victoria
b. Zach's is linear (has equal factor) . . . incorrect
c. both exponential; common difference . . . incorrect
d. Victoria's is linear . . . . correct for Victoria
Choice D describes Victoria's method. Choice A is correct regarding Zach's method, but incorrect regarding Victoria's.
Choices B and C are not self-consistent, so are incorrect on their face.
There is no good choice.
Answer: -4
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the increments in the graph do not go in 1's, but in 2's. Meaning the first line is 2, and second line is 4, and in the middle is 3. Be careful.
The range is where the line on the graph hits the y-axis (horizontal line, or line going up). The only possible place the line hits the y-axis is at -4. No other y-value. Thus, the range of the function is -4.
