Question

Rose's Botanical Garden produced flowers throughout the year. A graph demonstrating how many flowers she produced over a 10-month period is shown:

A graph of a curve with x axis labeled Months and y axis labeled Number of Flowers Produced. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 1 and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. The curve starts at about 1 comma 22 and goes up to 6 comma 60 at the highest point and ends at about 10 comma 36.

What can be interpreted from the domain of this graph?

The domain represents the total number of flowers produced each month.
The domain represents the total number of flowers produced in 10 months.
The domain represents a 120-month period of flower production.
The domain represents a 10-month period of flower production.

Answer 1

The domain of the graph, which ranges from 0 to 10 on the x-axis, represents a 10-month period of flower production, not the cumulative total or a 120-month period. The correct answer is option: 4) The domain represents a 10-month period of flower production.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph described shows the number of flowers produced each month over a 10-month period. The domain in this context refers to the set of all possible input values, which, on this graph, are the months.

Thus, the domain represents a 10-month period of flower production. The range of the domain is from 0 to 10 on the x-axis.

Each month's flower production is a separate data point on the graph, and does not represent the cumulative total over the 10 months nor a 120-month period.

Therefore, the correct interpretation of the domain of this graph is that it represents a 10-month period of flower production.
