Question

Fan and medal will be awarded to whoever HELPS me :)

Answer 1

before we compare and contrast, lets try and understand the given functions a bit :)

Answer 2

1) Observe that the first function value \(f(x)\) is increasing as \(x\) is increasing

Answer 3

2) Observe that the second function \(g(x)\) is FALLING to the right, that is, dippind down as \(x\) is increasing

Answer 4

can you make out whether the remaining two functions are falling(decreasing) or rising(increasing) ?

Answer 5

Okay hold on one minute

Answer 6

take ur time :) see if u can figure out whether they're falling/rising.
if u cant, its okay, il tell u anyways :)

Answer 7

Are they falling ? :(

Answer 8

yes third function is falling, cuz, it has a NEGATIVE slope

Answer 9

read the fourth function statement once,

Answer 10

it says, cameron is ADDING some stuff to his collection. That means, number of hats are increasing wid time, right ?

Answer 11

Yess

Answer 12

so, fourth function is increasing. we're DONE.
lets put watever we observed so far, into one single paragraph.

Answer 13

Do you want me to do that ? :o Lol

Answer 14

yes :) give it a try if u can :) its tough i knw... but give a quick try if u can :)

Answer 15

Hah okay one moment

Answer 16

Observe that the first function value f(x) is increasing as x is increasing and observe that the second function g(x) is falling to the right. The third function is falling because of its negative slope and the fourth function is increasing because it says Cameron is adding things to his collection.

Answer 17

Is that good or too short ? :(

Answer 18

that looks okay, but its missing one thing that the q is stressing us to focus on : slope and y intercept

Answer 19

Oh :(

Answer 20

First function value f(x) is increasing as x is increasing. Also the slope of this first function is not fixed. its y-intercept is also not listed in the table as there is not value given when x=0.

Second function g(x) is falling to the right. so it has a negative slope. from the graph, the line is cutting y-axis at -3, so its y intercept is -3. since it has fell 4 units when moving right by 1 unit, its slope must be -4. so its equation may look like \(g(x) = -4x-3\)

The third function is falling because of its negative slope(-4), since c = 3, it cuts y axis at 3 which is the y intercept.

Fourth function is increasing because it says Cameron is adding things to his collection. since he started wid 3 toys, y intercept is 3. since he adds 4 toys to his collection every year, slope = 4. so the equation for fourth function is \(j(x) = 4x+3\)

Answer 21

Do I add all of that into my answer ? :o

Answer 22

thats lotof information, see if some parts of it makes sense. ask if something doesnt make sense

Answer 23

my previous reply is the complete solution, i want u go thru it and digest if possible :)

Answer 24

Haha that's fine . I think i've completed the question . Thank you so much for your help :))

Answer 25

oh you've already finished this q ok np :)

Answer 26

:)
