the graph represents the journey of a bus from the bus stop to different locations:

part a: use complete sentences to describe the motion of the bus in parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the journey.

part b: in which parts of the graph is the function increasing, decreasing, and constant?

part c: is the graph linear or non-linear? explain your answer.

Part A:

Part 1: The bus accelerates down the freeway.

Part 2: The bus gets a flat tire and is forced to pull over to get it fixed.

Part 3: After fixing the tire, the driver drives back to a missed stop.

Part 4: The driver waits impatiently for people to show up at the bus stop.

Part 5: Nobody ends up showing up at the bus stop so the driver, engulfed in his anger, floors the pedal in order to reach the final destination.

Part B:

Parts 1 and 5 - increasing

Part 3 - decreasing

Part 2 and 4 - constant

Part C: The graph is not linear because there is no constant rate that the bus abides by.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
