To determine the approximate weight of the child when they are 6 months old from the graph of an exponential function, you would need to look at the y-value (weight) corresponding to the x-value (time) of 6 months.
Since I can't see the graph directly, I can't provide an exact answer. However, if you have the graph in front of you, please locate the point on the curve that corresponds to 6 months on the x-axis, and then read the corresponding weight on the y-axis.
From the given options, if you find that the y-value at 6 months is closest to:
- 16 pounds
- 0 pounds
- 17 pounds
- 20 pounds
You should choose the option that best matches this value. If, for example, the point at 6 months is visually closest to 17 pounds, then the answer would be 17 pounds. If not, select the appropriate weight based on what the graph indicates at that point.
