Help graphs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (nikato):

the only advice i can give you is to plug in 0 and then 2 for x to find y and you should have two points that can help you determine whihc graph

@reemii

OpenStudy (reemii):

if x=2, y = 1 + 0 = 1. with this information, what are the only possible graphs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D :s

OpenStudy (reemii):

D is a good one. B is also a good one because (2,1) is on the graph. now, one way to find which one is good is to find another point on the graph. Another way to find the right graph is to see if the function is increasing or decreasing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh A :p

OpenStudy (reemii):

A isn't good. it's B or D..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay, well hmm D

OpenStudy (reemii):

why?

OpenStudy (reemii):

is the function increasing or decreasing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

decreasing

OpenStudy (reemii):

An increasing function (cubic root) of an increasing function (x-2) gives an increasing function. dividing by 2 or adding 1 doesn't change that property. The function is increasing. B is increasing, D is decreasing. the answer is B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok :s can you help me with one more

OpenStudy (reemii):

start by determining one point on the graph of the function. this will filter out several graphs. explain what point you use and which graphs are the candidates.
