The graph of the function f is shown. Which of the following is a value of x for which f(x) = 0 ? a) -1 b) 0 c) 1 d) 4 The function f(x) = 0 when the graph of the function intersects the x-axis. The graph of f(x) intersects the x-axis at x = 1. So the answer is C. 1. 2 / 5 2. The daily high temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, for a city in the month of February in 2017 are summarized in the box plot shown. Which of the following is closest to the median of the high temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, of the city in February 2017? a) 35 b) 42 c) 48 d) 51 The median is the middle value in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers. Since we have a box plot, we can identify the median by looking at the middle line (the line that divides the box into two equal parts). The middle line in the box plot corresponds to a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit. So the answer is B. 42. 3 / 5 3. What is the median of the data set summarized in the frequency table? a) 2 b) 3 c) 4 d) 5 The median is the middle value in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers. Since we have a frequency table, we can create the sorted list by adding the frequencies together until we reach at least the middle value. Value | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency ------- | -------- | -------- 1 | 1 | 1 2 | 3 | 4 3 | 2 | 6 4 | 4 | 10 5 | 7 | 17 The median is the 9th value, which is 4. So the answer is C. 4 4 / 5 4. What is the slope of the line graphed in the xy-plane? a) -1 b) 3/2 c) 1 d) 2/3 The graph shows a line that passes through the points (0, 0) and (4, 6). The slope of the line is: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (6 - 0) / (4 - 0) = 3/2 Therefore, the answer is B. 5 / 5 5. The graph shows the payment scheme that Company Y offers to each of its salesmen. According to this payment scheme, part of a salesman’s monthly payment P in thousand dollars is based on the sales S in thousand dollars they make during the specific month. What does the P-intercept represent in the graph? a) The least amount in thousand dollars that a salesman will receive in a month. correct b) The amount in thousand dollars that a salesman will receive in a month if they make sales between 1 thousand and 2 thousand dollars in this month c) The minimum sales in thousand dollars required in a month before the payment scheme of Company Y takes effect in this month. d) The increase in a salesman monthly payment for each 5 thousand additional sales they make in the month. The P-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the P-axis. This happens when the sales S is zero. So, the P-intercept represents the least amount in thousand dollars that a salesman will receive in a month. So the answer is A. Your score is 0%
