Study Notes
Graphing Situations
- Light and heavy snowfall followed by stops are best represented by graph type A.
- For representing a kitten's weight that increases steadily before leveling off, graph B is most suitable.
- A quantity decreasing at a steady rate is best depicted using graph C.
Line Graph Characteristics
- Line graphs effectively show trends and allow for data predictions.
- They do not utilize percentages to display data.
Dynamics of Bouncing Ball
- In a graph titled "Bouncing a Ball," the arrow indicating the ball's height highlights the moment it is rising after hitting the ground for the third time (option B).
Groceries Delivery
- Lena's delivery includes stops at homes and traffic lights; the maximum number of stops at traffic lights is three based on her distance from the store graph.
Variable Identification
- In a graph relating annual gross income to time, the independent variable is time and the dependent variable is annual income. The income shows a steady rise, a sharp drop, then rises again.
Candle Burning Rate
- Graph A appropriately illustrates the height of a candle burning at a constant rate.
Fish Population Dynamics
- Fish population growth in a pond follows a pattern: slow increases, rapid growth due to reproduction, leveling off, and a drastic decline from pollutants, later followed by another growth phase. This situation is depicted in graph B.
Car Sales Trends
- New car sales at a local lot during July show a rapid initial increase, followed by a slowdown, a slight rise, and a gradual decline towards the end of the month.
Skater Speed Dynamics
- The graph of the skater shows an initial slowdown, followed by a quick increase in speed, then a gradual deceleration until the speed becomes constant.
