    Correct Answer
    B. Hyperbola
    Explanation
    The shape of the graph for the given table of values will be a hyperbola. A hyperbola is a type of curve that has two branches, which are symmetric to each other. It is defined by the equation (x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1 or (y-k)^2/b^2 - (x-h)^2/a^2 = 1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola and a and b determine the size and shape of the branches.

    Correct Answer
    E. Cubic
    Explanation
    The shape of the table of values above will be cubic. A cubic function is a polynomial function of degree three, which means it can have a graph that is curved and has both positive and negative slopes. This is different from a linear function, which has a straight line graph, a hyperbola which has two branches that open in opposite directions, a parabola which has a U-shaped graph, or a truncus which is not a recognized mathematical shape.

      Cubic

    Correct Answer
    E. Cubic
    Explanation
    The shape of the graph for the given table of values will be cubic. A cubic function is a polynomial function of degree 3, which means it has the form f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d. The graph of a cubic function is characterized by its curved shape, with both positive and negative slopes. It typically has one or two turning points and can exhibit a variety of different behaviors depending on the values of its coefficients. Therefore, the graph for the given table of values can be linearized by fitting a cubic function to it.

    C. Parabola
    Explanation
    The shape for the given table of values is a parabola. A parabola is a U-shaped curve that can be either concave up or concave down. It is characterized by a quadratic equation, and its graph is symmetric with a vertex at the minimum or maximum point. To linearize the graph, one would need to find a linear equation that approximates the behavior of the parabola.

    The shape of the table of values above will be a parabola. This can be determined by analyzing the pattern of the values in the table. A parabola is a U-shaped curve that can be either concave up or concave down. It is characterized by a quadratic equation, which typically includes an x^2 term. The values in the table may exhibit a quadratic relationship, where the y-values increase or decrease at a constant rate. This indicates that the graph will have a parabolic shape.

    Correct Answer
    B. Hyperbola
    Explanation
    The shape of the graph for the given table of values will be a hyperbola. A hyperbola is a type of curve that is symmetrical and consists of two branches that open in opposite directions. It is characterized by the equation of the form x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1 or y^2/b^2 - x^2/a^2 = 1. In order to linearize the graph, the equation needs to be transformed into a linear equation, which is not possible with a hyperbola. Therefore, the correct answer is hyperbola.

  • 15. 

    From the table above, what is the value for 1/x when y = 1?

    Correct Answer
    -1/2
    -0.5
    -.5
    Explanation
    The value for 1/x when y = 1 can be calculated by substituting y = 1 into the equation. Since x is not given in the question, we cannot determine the exact value of 1/x. However, the options -1/2, -0.5, and -.5 all represent the same value, which is the reciprocal of 2. Therefore, any of these options can be considered as the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    From the table above, what is the value for 1/x when y = -2?

    Correct Answer
    1
    Explanation
    The value for 1/x when y = -2 is 1. This can be determined by substituting y = -2 into the equation 1/x, which simplifies to 1/(-2) = -1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

    Rate this question:

    1/2
    0.5
    .5
    Explanation
    The value for 1/x when y = -1 is 1/2, 0.5, and .5. This is because when y = -1, x can take any value except 0. Therefore, 1 divided by any non-zero value will give us the same result, which is 1/2, 0.5, or .5.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    From the table above, what is the value for 1/x squared when y = 2?

    Correct Answer
    1
    Explanation
    The value for 1/x squared when y = 2 is 1. This can be determined by substituting y = 2 into the equation and simplifying. Since x is not given in the question, it can be assumed that x can be any value. Therefore, when y = 2, the value for 1/x squared is 1.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    From the table above, what is the value for 1/x squared when y = 1/2?

    Correct Answer
    1/4
    .25
    0.25
    Explanation
    The value for 1/x squared when y = 1/2 can be calculated by substituting the value of y into the expression. Since y = 1/2, we can substitute it into 1/x squared to get 1/(1/2)^2. Simplifying this expression, we get 1/(1/4), which is equal to 4. Therefore, the value for 1/x squared when y = 1/2 is 4.

  • 35. 

    From the table above, what is the linearised value when y = 1?

    Correct Answer
    -1/3
    Explanation
    The linearised value refers to the value of a function when it is approximated by a straight line. In this case, when y = 1, the linearised value is -1/3. This means that when y is equal to 1, the function can be well approximated by a straight line with a slope of -1/3.
