\

(a)

\

The temperature of a bowl of soup as a function of time.

\

The best description is " the temperature of a bowl of soup will decrease a function of time ".

\

So graph II matches for this situation.

\

\

(b)

\

The number of hours of daylight per day over a 2-year period.

\

The best description is " the number of hours per a day light varies from season - more in the summer and less in the winter ".

\

So graph V matches for this situation.

\

\

(c)

\

The population of Florida as a function of time.

\

The best description is " the population of Florida increase as a function of time, but since the population increases at a higher rate in recent decades, the graph should not be a linear function(the graph is an exponential function) ".

\

So graph IV matches for this situation.

\

\

(d)

\

 The distance traveled by a car going at a constant velocity as a function of time.

\

The best description is " the longer the car drives, the more distance it travels ".

\

The graph should be linear because the car is travel at a constant velocity.

\

So graph III matches for this situation.

\

\

(e)

\

 The height of a golf ball hit with a 7-iron as a function of time.

\

The best description is " the height of a golf ball will increase as a function of time to a maximum point and will decrease from the maximum point ".

\

So graph I matches for this situation.

\

\

(a) II.

\

(b) V.

\

(c) IV.

\

(d) III.

\

(e) I.
