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.

Two different functions are shown.Function A:Function B: y = (x + 3)2 + 5

Question illustration
A
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.

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.

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.
