Practice Test - Chapter 1
21. f (−6y)
SOLUTION:
22. Identify the function graphed as linear or nonlinear.
Then estimate and interpret the intercepts of the
graph, any symmetry, where the
function is positive, negative, increasing, and
decreasing, the x-coordinate of any relative extrema,
and the end behavior of the graph.
SOLUTION:
Linear or Nonlinear: The graph is not a line, so the
function is nonlinear.
x- and y-Intercepts: The x- and y-intercepts are 0.
This means that no gadgets have been sold prior to
being released.
Symmetry: The graph has no line symmetry.
Positive/Negative: The function is positive for all
values of x, so the total number of gadgets sold is
always positive.
Increasing/Decreasing: The function is increasing
for all values of x so the total number of gadgets sold
is always increasing.
Extrema: There are no relative maximum or relative
minimum values.
End Behavior: As x increases, y increases. As time
increases, the total number of gadgets sold continues
to increase, but at a much slower rate than during
months 0 to 24.
