Graphing help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following statements best describes the person's velocity? It is decreasing in the interval 2 < x < 4. It is decreasing in the interval 3 < x < 4. It is increasing in the interval 2 < x < 4. It is increasing in the interval 3 < x < 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(BTW, this is my last question :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help with dilation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@greenlegodude57

OpenStudy (phi):

what is the graph doing between 2 and 4 ? It does down and then back up

OpenStudy (phi):

I think when they say decreasing between 2 and 4, they mean it only decreases, none of this down and back up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the beginning: The graph below shows the velocity of a person (y), in km/h, at a certain time (x), in hours.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much you've been a huge help :)

OpenStudy (phi):

can you pick the correct answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I picked " It is decreasing in the interval 2 < x < 4." Is that the correct answer? Since the change is between points 2 and 4 and it decreases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it said the answer was incorrect.

OpenStudy (phi):

the graph is of the y points. at x=2 y is 4 and at x=3 y is 3 y went down. then y goes back up. so y is not decreasing between x=2 and x = 4 (it goes down then back up)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (phi):

between x=2 and 4 y is not decreasing (only) or increasing (only) so I would ignore those choices. at x=3, y is 3, and at x=4 y is 4. y increased

OpenStudy (phi):

** y goes down to 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (phi):

so I meant at x=3, y is 2, and at x=4 y is 4. y increased

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh I get it. Thanks for clearing that up :)
