Examine the scatter diagram and determine whether the type of relation is linear or nonlinear.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The scatter diagram is linear.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given scatter diagram is,

02

Examine and join two points on the graph

The best fit line of the scatter diagram is,

The graph of the line is the best fit. So, the scatter plot is a linear relation.

Find a quadratic function whose x-intercepts are -1 and 5and whose range is(-∞,9]

The marginal cost of a product can be thought of as the cost of producing one additional unit of output. For example, if the marginal cost of producing the 50th product is \(6.20, it cost \)6.20 to increase production from 49 to 50 units of output. Suppose the marginal cost C

(in dollars) to produce x thousand mp3 players is given by the function

f(x)=x2-140x+7400

(a) How many players should be produced to minimize the marginal cost?

(b) What is the minimum marginal cost?

True or False The slope of a nonvertical line is the average rate of change of the linear function.

Graph the function fby starting with the graph of y=x2and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection). Verify your results using a graphing utility.

Hint: If necessary, write fin the form f(x)=a(x-h)2+k.

f(x)=12x2+x-1

If the slope m of the graph of a linear function is________, the function is increasing over its domain.
