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.

To determine the approximate weight of the child when they are 6 months old based on the exponential function graph you described, please look at the curve at the 6-month mark on the x-axis. Without the visual, I can't provide the exact data, but you should identify the corresponding y-value (weight) at that point.

If you're able to observe the curve, check where the value lines up vertically at x = 6 months. Based on your options, the possibilities are:

  • 16 pounds
  • 17 pounds
  • 0 pounds
  • 20 pounds

Select the option that corresponds to what you see at that point on the graph. If you're looking for common trends in weight increase at that age, 16 or 20 pounds may be more typical based on standard growth statistics for children.
