Question

label: squirrel populations
number of squirrels over time
1 - 2 weeks 104
3 - 4 weeks 60
5 - 6 weeks 34
7 - 8 weeks 25
linear relationship
graph
interval
independent variable
dependent variable
nonlinear relationship
table of values

Explanation:

1. The relationship shown by the curve in the graph is not a straight - line, so it's a nonlinear relationship.
2. The visual representation of the data about squirrel populations over time is the graph.
3. The time intervals are given as 1 - 2 weeks, 3 - 4 weeks, etc.
4. The variable that is being manipulated or changed (time in weeks) is the independent variable.
5. The variable that depends on the independent variable (number of squirrels) is the dependent variable.
6. As mentioned, the curve indicates a nonlinear relationship.
7. The table on the left side showing time intervals and corresponding number of squirrels is the table of values.

Answer:

1. nonlinear relationship
2. graph
3. time intervals
4. time (in weeks)
5. number of squirrels
6. nonlinear relationship
7. table showing time and number of squirrels
