Consider the functions.

Question illustration
A
The minimums of g(x) and h(x) are both in the first quadrant.
B
The minimums of g(x) and h(x) are both in the third quadrant.
C
The minimum of h(x) is farther right and up from the minimums of f(x) and g(x).
D
The minimum of h(x) is farther left and down from the minimums of f(x) and g(x).

Employees at a manufacturing plant have seen production rates change by approximately 105% annually. In contrast, the graph shows the change in the average annual wages of the employees.

Question illustration
A
The annual changes cannot be compared because the initial production value is unknown.
B
The annual change in production has exceeded the annual change in the average salary.
C
The annual change in production increases at a slower rate, 5% per year, than the annual increase in the average salary, $500 per year.
D
The annual change in production increases at a slower rate, 105% per year, than the annual increase in average salary, $500 per year.

Which function has the greatest x-intercept?

A
f(x) = 3x – 9
B
g(x) = |x + 3|
C
h(x) = 2x – 16
D
j(x) = –5(x – 2)2

The tables show functions representing the growth of two types of bacteria on certain days within an experiment that lasted a total of 10 days.

Question illustration
A
Since x-intercepts indicate the amount of each bacteria at the start of the experiment, there was more of bacteria B than bacteria A at the start.
B
Since y-intercepts indicate the amount of each bacteria at the start of the experiment, there was more of bacteria B than bacteria A at the start.
C
Since the maximum value in the table for bacteria A is greater than the maximum value in the table for bacteria B, bacteria A has a faster growth rate than bacteria B.
D
Since the minimum value in the table for bacteria A is less than the minimum value in the table for bacteria B, bacteria A has a slower growth rate than bacteria B.

A
f(x) has an all negative domain.
B
g(x) has the greatest maximum value.
C
All three functions share the same range.
D
h(x) has a range of all negative numbers.
E
All three functions share the same domain.

Two different functions are shown.Function A:Function B:

Question illustration
A
The x-intercept in function B is one-third as large as the x-intercept in function A.
B
The x-intercept in function B is three times as large as the x-intercept in function A.
C
The distance between the x-intercepts in function A is half the distance between the x-intercepts of function B.
D
The distance between the x-intercepts in function A is twice the distance between the x-intercepts of function B.
10

The minimum of function A occurs 1 unit higher than the minimum of function B.
B
The minimum of function A occurs 3 units higher than the minimum of function B.
C
The minimum of function A occurs 5 units lower than the minimum of function B.
D
The minimum of function A occurs 7 units lower than the minimum of function B.
