There are many ways that graphs can be misleading. Depending on how you set up your graph, the same set of data can look very different. It's important to understand that there are some common mistakes to avoid when making graphs. In addition, advertisers have been known to intentionally make their graphs misleading to make their data match their point.  

In the image provided, this is a good example of a misleading graph.

First, notice that we know that the first bar is 10 and the second bar is 50. However, there are no labels on the horizontal or vertical axis so we don't know what the bars represent.

In addition, notice that there is no title on this graph. Since there is no title on the graph, we don't know anything about the data.

Further, look at the scale on the vertical axis. Notice that it's an uneven scale. The uneven scale makes it appear that the first bar is closer to the second bar than it actually is.

We could correct this graph by adding labels to the x and y-axis, adding a title to the graph, and making the scale on the vertical axis even.

Another way graphs can be misleading is using the wrong type to represent data. For example, a scatter plot might be better than a regular graph in some cases.

Lastly, graphs can be misleading by adding a wide range of numbers to show and increase or decrease relatively small to how it actually is.

Jasmine buys the magic carpet on sale for $374. She saved $66 off the regular price. What percent was the price discounted?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the regular price of the carpet.

Then:  

sale price = regular price less discount

    $374    =           c     -     $66

Adding $66 to both sides isolates (solves for) c:

$374 + $66 = c  =   $440.  This is the regular price.

 $66

---------- = 0.15                      This is the fraction of the regular price by

$440                                   which the regular price is reduced.

Then the percentage of this discount was   0.15(100%) = 15%

Is the following function even, odd or neither? f(x)=x^3 +4x
erica [24]

Answer:

D, neither

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a function is even, odd or neither, we need to know what it means

an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis

an odd function is symmetric with respect to the origin

to solve an equation to see if its even or odd, we would need to substitute <em>x</em> in the equation for <em>-x</em>.

in an even function when we substitute f(-x), it should be equal to to f(x)

in an odd function when we substitute f(-x), it should be equal to -f(x)

so lets test the function given to see if its even

f(x) = x³ + 4x

f(-x) = (-x)³ + 4(-x)

f(-x) = x³ - 4x

f(-x) = x³ - 4x ≠ f(x) = x³ + 4x

comparing this to the orignal function, we see that f(-x) = x³ - 4x is not even as we did not get the same output as the original function

now we should test to see if its odd. we have already seen what f(-x) is, now lets try -f(x) and compare it to f(-x) and f(x)

-f(x) = -(x³ + 4x) -->

-f(x) = -x³ - 4x ≠ f(-x) = x³ - 4x

f(-x) = x³ - 4x ≠ f(x) = x³ + 4x

comparing this to f(x) and f(-x), we see that it not odd as we did not get the same output

so the answer is D, neither even nor odd

Write the equation for the line that passes through the points (4, 5) and<br> (6,9). *
N76 [4]

Answer:

y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find slops

(9-5)/(6-4) = 4/2 = 2 = m

y = mx + b

5 = 2(2) + b

1 = b

y = 2x + 1
