Question

The graph shows the amount of air pollution removed by trees in an urban region for each month of the year. a) Are these curves the graphs of functions? b) Look at the graph for particulates. Where is the function increasing? Decreasing? Constant? c) On what intervals do all four lower graphs indicate that the corresponding functions are constant? a) Are these curves the graphs of functions? Yes No

Step 1

To determine if a curve is the graph of a function, we can use the vertical line test. If a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point at any place, then the graph is not a function. Looking at the image, it appears that no vertical line would Show more…
