Answer:
To determine which bulb would be better to use on the factory floor and in the break room, we need to compare the energy usage of the three bulbs: incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent.
1. Based on energy efficiency, we would circle the two bulbs that are more energy-efficient: halogen and fluorescent.
3. Summarizing:
- The energy usage of a light bulb is a function. The input for the function is time, measured in hours.
- The output of the function is energy usage, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Time is a function of energy usage.
4. Organizing Information: DATA TABLE A
Time (hours) x Energy (kWh) y Point (time, energy) (x, y)

5. Organizing Information: DATA TABLE B
Time (hours) x Energy (kWh) y Point (time, energy) (x, y)
3 -
10 -
6. Organizing Information:
- Graph 1: Label the axes with "Time (hours)" and "Energy (kWh)". Plot the points from Table A and connect them with a line.
- Graph 2: Label the axes with "Time (hours)" and "Energy (kWh)". Plot the points from Table B and connect them with a line.
7. Summarizing:
- Graph 1 (First bulb) classification: Unknown, as the points are not provided.
- Graph 2 (Second bulb) classification: Unknown, as the points are not provided.
8. Summarizing:
- First bulb: When 3 hours is the input, the output (energy usage) is unknown. When 10 hours is the input, the output (energy usage) is unknown.
- Second bulb: When 3 hours is the input, the output (energy usage) is unknown. When 10 hours is the input, the output (energy usage) is unknown.
9. Summarizing:
- To determine which light bulb would consume the least amount of energy in the break room for stretches of about 3 hours, we need the data or information on energy usage for each bulb. Without that information, it's not possible to make a definitive conclusion.
10. Summarizing:
- Similarly, to determine which light bulb would consume the least amount of energy in the main room of the factory for stretches of 9 hours, we need the data or information on energy usage for each bulb. Without that information, it's not possible to make a definitive conclusion.
In summary, without the energy usage data for each bulb, we cannot determine which bulb would be better to use on the factory floor or in the break room, or which bulb would consume the least amount of energy for specific time durations.
