To determine which graph displays the correct plotted points for the situation, we can calculate the values of \( f(x) \) using the formula \( f(x) = 320(0.75)^x \) for \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \).
-
For \( x = 0 \): \[ f(0) = 320(0.75)^0 = 320(1) = 320 \]
-
For \( x = 1 \): \[ f(1) = 320(0.75)^1 = 320(0.75) = 240 \]
-
For \( x = 2 \): \[ f(2) = 320(0.75)^2 = 320(0.5625) = 180 \]
-
For \( x = 3 \): \[ f(3) = 320(0.75)^3 = 320(0.421875) \approx 135 \]
-
For \( x = 4 \): \[ f(4) = 320(0.75)^4 = 320(0.31640625) \approx 101 \]
-
For \( x = 5 \): \[ f(5) = 320(0.75)^5 = 320(0.2373046875) \approx 76 \]
Now, we compile the points:
- \( (0, 320) \)
- \( (1, 240) \)
- \( (2, 180) \)
- \( (3, 135) \)
- \( (4, 101) \)
- \( (5, 76) \)
From the provided options, options 1 and 3 are the only ones that mention a decreasing curve which aligns with our calculations showing that the values are decreasing.
Since both options 1 and 3 look similar, we will determine if they are identical. Given that they both plot the milligrams on the y-axis and hours on the x-axis, we can conclude:
Option #1 and Option #3 correctly represent a decreasing curve for the function, but since they both also align with the stated configuration of axes, you can reasonably choose either.
Thus, since we need to pick one option explicitly, the answer is:
The graph with the correct plotted points is Option #1 or Option #3 (both are correct).
However, pick Option #1 if you are required to pick one.
