Question

Please help me im desperate

Stellas teacher asked her to create a graph that has the following characteristics:



. linear from x= -10 to x =0

. nonlinear from x = 0 to x = 10

. decreasing from x = -10 to x = 0

. increasing from x = 0 to x = 10



This is the graph she made: (picture down below)



What mistake did Stella make?



. She switched which sides are increasing and decreasing.

. She described the left side of the graph correctly, but the right side should be increasing.

. She switched which sides are linear and nonlinear

. She described the right side of the graph correctly, but the left side should be nonlinear.

Answer 1

Stella's mistake is that she switched which sides are linear and nonlinear.

The correct graph for the given characteristics should be linear from x = -10 to x = 0, nonlinear from x = 0 to x = 10, decreasing from x = -10 to x = 0, and increasing from x = 0 to x = 10.

The graph Stella provided is incorrect because it has the following characteristics:

Linear from x = -10 to x = 0 (correct)

Nonlinear from x = 0 to x = 10 (correct)

Decreasing from x = -10 to x = 0 (correct)

Increasing from x = 0 to x = 10 (incorrect)

To correct the graph, Stella should switch the linear and nonlinear sections, making the graph decrease from x = -10 to x = 0 and increase from x = 0 to x = 10.
