Sketching a Graph with Given Concavity:
a. Sketch a graph that is always decreasing but starts out concave down and then changes to concave up. There should be a point of inflection in your picture. Mark and label it.
b. Sketch a graph that is always decreasing but starts out concave up and then changes to concave down. There should be a point of inflection in your picture. Mark and label it.

- Constant Velocity When the graph of directed distance is a straight line, what can be said about the graph of velocity?arrow_forwardThe table shows the temperatures y (in degrees Fahrenheit) in a city over a 24-hour period. Let x represent the time of day, where x=0 corresponds to 6 a.m. These data can be approximated by the model y=0.026x31.03x2+10.2x+34,0x24. (a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. Then graph the model in the same viewing window. (b) How well does the model fit the data? (c) Use the graph to approximate the times when the temperature was increasing and decreasing. (d) Use the graph to approximate the maximum and minimum temperatures during this 24-hour period. (e) Could this model predict the temperatures in the city during the next 24-hour period? Why or why not?arrow_forwardHOW DO YOU SEE IT? The graphs labeled L1,L2,L3, and L4 represent four different pricing discounts, where p is the original price (in dollars) and S is the sale price (in dollars). Match each function with its graph. Describe the situations in parts c and d. a fp:A50 discount is applied. b gp:A$5 discount is applied. c gfp d fgparrow_forward
- Commute to Work Jade and her roommate Jari commute to work each morning, traveling west on I-10. One morning Jade left for work at 6:50 a.m., but Jari left 10 minutes later. Both drove at a constant speed. The following graphs show the distance in miles each of them has traveled on I-10 at time t in minutes, where t = 0 is 7 a.m. a Use the graph to decide which of them is traveling faster. b Find the speed in mi/h at which each of them is driving. c Find linear functions f and g that model the distances that Jade and Jari travel as functions of t in minutes.arrow_forwardLife Expectancy Versus Health Care Spending One article shows a relationship between per capita health care spending h, in thousands of U.S. dollars per person per year, and life expectancy E, in years. The following formula is adapted from that article: E=72.23+3.85h0.37h2 We should point out that this article includes no justification for the type of model used. a.Plot the graph E versus h. Include spending levels from 1000 to 9000 per person per year so a horizontal span of 1 to 9. b. According to this model, what health care expenditure corresponds to maximum longevity? Round your answer in thousands of dollars per person per year to two decimal places. c.What optimum life expectancy is given by this model? For comparison, in 2011, in the United States, per capita health care spending was 8745 and life expectancy was 78.7 years.arrow_forwardPlease help I am so lostarrow_forward
- 8. Speed from Skid Marks When a car makes an emergency stop on dry pavement, it leaves skid marks on the pavement. The length L, in feet, of the skid mark is related to the speed S, in miles per hour, when the brakes were applied. The relationship is S(L) = 5.06/L. a. Make a graph of S versus L. Include lengths of up to 200 feet. b. A man involved in an emergency stop claimed that his speed was between 30 and 40 miles per hour. What skid mark length would support this claim? 240 5.06arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forwardPlease Explain the Grapharrow_forward
