Answer: Choice C

scale starts at $5 and goes to $40 with a regular $5 interval

even though we don't start at 0, the difference in bar heights is not exaggerated

graph is not misleading

=================================================

Explanation:

Choice A is not true because the vertical axis starts at 5 and not 0

Choice B is the same story as choice A.

Choice D is not true because the vertical axis does not use an irregular interval. The interval or tickmark distance is $5 each time. In other words, the value goes up by 5 each time.

So far, choices A, B and D have been crossed off the list. The only thing left is choice C.

Despite the fact that the vertical axis starts at 5, instead of 0, the graph is not misleading. The heights of the bars can be compared to see that brand H is the most expensive brand. So in a sense, we can ignore the data values along the vertical axis and still be able to see that brand H is the most expensive. The other brands are close to one another in cost.

side note: the bar graph should have a zig-zag line at the very bottom of the vertical axis to indicate "we are not starting at y = 0". This is handy if you happen to start with much larger y values.

Suppose a car has a rating of 4.8 gallons per 100 miles. What is the miles-per-gallon rating of this car? 
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The miles-per-gallon rating of this car is 20.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a rule of three.

What is the miles-per-gallon rating of this car?

How many miles for 1 gallon?

4.8 gallons are used for 100 miles. So

4.8 gallons - 100 miles

1 gallon - x miles

4.8x = 100

x = \frac{100}{4.8}

x = 20.83

The miles-per-gallon rating of this car is 20.83.

What was the equation of the graph below before it was shifted to the right 1 unit? (equation was g(x)=(x-1.5)^3-(x-1.5))
harina [27]
If graph of the function y=f(x) was shifted to the  right 1 unit, then you got new function y=f(x-1).
Reversly, if you have the function g(x)=(x-1.5)^3-(x-1.5) that is obtained by shifting to the right 1 unit, then the initial function was

g(x+1)=(x+1-1.5)^3-(x+1-1.5), \\ g(x+1)=(x-0.5)^3-(x-0.5).
Answer: Correct choice is D.
