Algebra Functions and Data Analysis A

Which graph represents a snowy day with light snow, heavy snow, and stops?

A line graph does NOT:

Which graph best represents a kitten's weight for the first two years after birth?

Which graph is the most appropriate to describe a quantity decreasing at a steady rate?

What does the arrow represent in the graph titled Bouncing a Ball?

What is the greatest possible number of stops Lena made at traffic lights on her first trip?

Identify the independent and dependent variable in the graph concerning annual gross income and number of years.

Which graph is the most appropriate to describe the height of a candle burning at a constant rate?

Which graph depicts the population of fish in a pond over time?

Describe what is happening in the graph regarding new car sales at a local car lot for the month of July.

Describe what is happening in the graph of the skater's speed.

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.
