To answer your questions accurately, I would need to see the specific graph you are referring to, as well as the context of the function. However, I can provide general answers for each question.
-
Domain of a Function: The domain of a function refers to the set of all possible input values (usually \(x\)) that the function can accept. For example, if the function involves a square root or a fraction, you must consider the values of \(x\) that will keep those expressions defined.
-
Velocity After 17 Minutes: To determine the velocity after 17 minutes using the graph, you would typically look up the value of the function at \(x = 17\) minutes. This would correspond to the height of the graph at that point, giving you the velocity.
-
Linear or Nonlinear: A function is linear if it can be represented by a straight line on a graph, meaning it can be expressed in the form \(y = mx + b\) (where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept). If the graph is curved or has any changes in slope, it is nonlinear.
-
Increasing, Decreasing, or Remaining Constant: To determine whether the graph is increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant, observe the general trend of the graph:
- Increasing: If the graph goes upwards as you move from left to right.
- Decreasing: If the graph goes downwards as you move from left to right.
- Remaining Constant: If the graph is flat (horizontal) as you move from left to right.
If you provide more specifics or descriptions about the graph or function you're referring to, I can help to refine these answers further!
