Sketching a Graph with Given Concavity:
a. Sketch a graph that is always decreasing but starts out concave down and then changes to concave up. There should be a point of inflection in your picture. Mark and label it.
b. Sketch a graph that is always decreasing but starts out concave up and then changes to concave down. There should be a point of inflection in your picture. Mark and label it.

- Constant Velocity When the graph of directed distance is a straight line, what can be said about the graph of velocity?arrow_forwardFill in the blanks. The graph of y=fx+5 is identical to the graph of y=fx except that it is translated 5 units ________.arrow_forwardFill in the blanks. The graph of _________ is identical to the graph of y=fx except that it is translated 7 units downward.arrow_forward
- YOUR TURN Identify the x-values of all points where the graph has relative extrema.arrow_forwardThe table shows the temperatures y (in degrees Fahrenheit) in a city over a 24-hour period. Let x represent the time of day, where x=0 corresponds to 6 a.m. These data can be approximated by the model y=0.026x31.03x2+10.2x+34,0x24. (a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. Then graph the model in the same viewing window. (b) How well does the model fit the data? (c) Use the graph to approximate the times when the temperature was increasing and decreasing. (d) Use the graph to approximate the maximum and minimum temperatures during this 24-hour period. (e) Could this model predict the temperatures in the city during the next 24-hour period? Why or why not?arrow_forward
