Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to figure out if some scenarios are linear relationships *and* if they're functions, and then find the rate of change for different parts of Kat's ocean dive. Watch out! Don't mix up linear relationships with functions–something can be one but not the other!
Also, be careful with units when calculating rates of change.

STEP 2

1. Campsite Costs
2. Fruit Fly Population
3. X-Shaped Graph
4. Parabolic Graph
5. Kat's Dive

STEP 3

Let's **define** our variables! cc is the total cost and pp is the number of additional people.

STEP 4

The cost is $35\$35 plus $15\$15 per extra person.
We can write this as c=35+15pc = 35 + 15 \cdot p.

STEP 5

This is a **linear relationship** because it's in the form y=mx+by = mx + b, where m=15m = 15 and b=35b = 35.
It's also a **function** because each input (pp) has exactly one output (cc).

STEP 6

Let PP be the population and tt be the time in hours.

STEP 7

Doubling every 12 hours means we multiply by 2 every 12 hours.
This can be written as P(t)=P02t12P(t) = P_0 \cdot 2^{\frac{t}{12}}, where P0P_0 is the **initial population**.

STEP 8

This is *not* linear because of the exponent.
It's an **exponential relationship**.
It *is* a **function** because each time has one population.

STEP 9

This graph is made of two intersecting lines, so it's *not* a single linear relationship.

STEP 10

It's *not* a function!
The **vertical line test** shows that some x-values have *two* corresponding y-values.

STEP 11

This graph is a parabola, which is a quadratic relationship, not a linear one.

STEP 12

It *is* a **function** because it passes the **vertical line test** - each x-value has only one y-value.

STEP 13

The **rate of change** is the change in depth divided by the change in time.

STEP 14

For **OA**, Kat goes from 0m to -10m in 5 minutes.
So the rate is 10050=105=2\frac{-10 - 0}{5 - 0} = \frac{-10}{5} = -2 m/min.

STEP 15

For **AB**, Kat stays at -10m for 5 minutes, so the rate is 10(10)105=05=0\frac{-10 - (-10)}{10 - 5} = \frac{0}{5} = 0 m/min.

STEP 16

For **BC**, Kat goes from -10m to -20m in 5 minutes.
The rate is 20(10)1510=105=2\frac{-20 - (-10)}{15 - 10} = \frac{-10}{5} = -2 m/min.

STEP 17

For **CD**, Kat goes from -20m to -5m in 10 minutes.
The rate is 5(20)2515=1510=1.5\frac{-5 - (-20)}{25 - 15} = \frac{15}{10} = 1.5 m/min.

STEP 18

For **DE**, Kat goes from -5m to 0m in 5 minutes.
The rate is 0(5)3025=55=1\frac{0 - (-5)}{30 - 25} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 m/min.

STEP 19

1. Campsite: **Linear: yes, Function: yes**
2. Fruit Flies: **Linear: no, Function: yes**
3. X-Graph: **Linear: no, Function: no**
4. Parabola: **Linear: no, Function: yes**
5. Kat's Dive: **OA: -2 m/min, AB: 0 m/min, BC: -2 m/min, CD: 1.5 m/min, DE: 1 m/min**
