Question

Part 1 to my question is: What describes a real-life situation that would represent a function? The choices were:1) The number of people seeing the same show at different theaters is: 32,24,28,48,352) The height of a gondola that rises 8 meters per second ( The one I chose )3) The names of 20 different buildings in a large city4) The cost of 10 lunches at $5.95 or the cost of 10 lunches at $6.75 eachPart two is: Use the Line tool to graph the function from part 1My question is: How do you graph that?

Answer 1

To draw the height of a gondola that rises 8 meters per second.

First, you have to determine which variable goes to the y-axis and what variable goes to the x-axis. Since the height varies with time, then the height of the gondola corresponds to the y-axis and the time corresponds to the x-axis.

Assuming that at time zero, the height of the gondola is in ground level, i.e. for x=0 → y=0.

You can construct a table with several values of x and y

Next, using the points, you can draw the function:
