Question

1. which of the following best describes the graph of the function when x is between 0 and 10?

a. linear and increasing
b. linear and decreasing
c. non-linear and increasing
d. non-linear and decreasing

Explanation:

1. First, check if the graph is linear or non-linear between x=0 and x=10: A linear graph forms a straight line, but this graph is a curved parabola, so it is non-linear.
2. Next, check if it is increasing or decreasing between x=0 and x=10: As x increases from 0 to 10, the y-values rise from 10 to 14, so the function is increasing in this interval.

Answer:

c. Non-linear and increasing
