Determine which domain corresponds to the function described below:
The function represents the amount of fuel in a car's tank according to the distance traveled by the car.
According to the definition, the amount of fuel in the car's tank will always decrease, since during the trip the car consumes fuel in order to travel.
Therefore, the domain that is suitable for this function is - always decreasing.
Always decreasing
Choose the graph that best describes the following:
The acceleration of a ball (Y) after throwing it from a building as a function of time (X).
Since acceleration is dependent on time, it will be constant.
The force of gravity on Earth is constant, meaning the velocity of Earth's gravity is constant and therefore the graph will be straight.
The graph that appears in answer B satisfies this.
Choose the graph that best represents the following:
Temperature of lukewarm water (Y) after placing in the freezer as a function of time (X).
Since the freezing point of water is below 0, the temperature of the water must drop below 0.
The graph in answer B describes a decreasing function and therefore this is the correct answer.
