Based on the questions you've provided, here are the answers along with brief explanations for each:
15. Which table could represent a quadratic function?
- Answer: A
- A quadratic function forms a parabolic shape in its graph. Upon examining the outputs for the values of x, table A shows a pattern consistent with a quadratic function with outputs increasing at a non-linear rate.
23. An equation is given. y = (x - 3)² + 1. Which type of function does the equation represent?
- Answer: B (quadratic)
- The equation is in vertex form of a quadratic function, given by \(y = a(x-h)^2 + k\), where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
30. A rental company charges $2 per hour to rent a bicycle. A table showing the prices of renting one bicycle for different amounts of time is shown. Which type of function models the price for renting one bicycle as a function of time?
- Answer: A (increasing linear)
- The relationship between time and price is linear because the price increases by a constant amount ($2 per hour), resulting in a straight line when graphed.
40. The graph of y = f (x) and a table of values for an exponential function y = g (x) are shown. Which statement correctly compares the graphs of the functions?
- Answer: As the values of x increase, g(x) will eventually be greater than f(x).
- If g(x) is an exponential function, it will grow faster than the linear or polynomial function represented by f(x) as x increases. Exponential functions typically outpace others in growth.
