A school is ordering pencils for its students. The principal estimates that each student will use 30 pencils in one school year. The function y = 30x describes the total number of pencils, y, that the principal should order for x students. Which set of terms best describes the function y = 30x in this scenario?
here are the answers
continuous and linear
thank you
no problem, any thing else?
yes
The temperature in a freezer is falling steadily at a rate of 2°F per minute. The function gives the temperature y after x minutes. Which set of terms best describes the function in this scenario?
continuous and linear
again lol
thank you
yw, if you have any more i'll try to help
Aaron made a table of values and used several ordered pairs to draw the graph of a function. Then, he drew the function by connecting the points without lifting his pencil from the page. Which statement about the function must be true?
it's continuous
thank you
you're welcome, any more?
Sarah read that skateboarding burns about 100 calories every 20 minutes. She made a table of values to compare time and calories burned.
they want to know if its liner or non liner
It would be linear because as the x increases so does the y
thank you
Is there any more?
yea
Sarah read that skateboarding burns about 100 calories every 20 minutes. She made a table of values to compare time and calories burned.
The function represents the relationship between minutes of skateboarding (x) and calories burned (y). For this scenario, is the function discrete or continuous? How do you know? Use at least 3 sentences in your answer
Ok, it would be continuous because in the 20 minutes she was continuously burning the calories.She didn't burn 100 cals on the last minute.
that's only two sentences but you can add something to it i guess lol
thank you so so much for your help
you're welcome!
i have one more question
sure
Which set of terms describes the graph?
are there choices?
discrete and linear discrete and non-linear continuous and linear continuous and non-linear
hmm. i would say discrete and linear
thank you
you're welcome!
