Use the image to answer the question.

A curve showing an increase of weight over time is plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled weight left parenthesis pounds right parenthesis. The x-axis is labeled time left parenthesis months right parenthesis.

Interpret the following exponential function graph to determine the approximate weight of the child when they are 6 months old.

To determine the approximate weight of the child when they are 6 months old from the described exponential function graph, you would typically look at the point on the curve that corresponds to 6 months on the x-axis.

Since I cannot see the image, I can't provide an exact answer based on the graph, but I can guide you on how to interpret it:

  1. Find the x-coordinate of 6 months on the graph.
  2. Move vertically to the curve to find the corresponding y-coordinate, which represents weight in pounds.

Based on the options provided, you would select the value that closely matches the y-coordinate at 6 months.

If you have access to the graph, use the instructions above to find the child's weight at 6 months. If it's an estimate among the choices, choose the one that you believe is closest based on the graph's curve at that point.
