Understanding Functions and Graphs

The video tutorial covers Math 8 Unit 5 Lesson 6, focusing on graphing functions through various stories and scenarios. It begins with an introduction to graphs of functions, followed by a detailed exploration of a dog story to illustrate graphing concepts. The lesson continues with Jada's swimming practice, Andre's money jar, and Noah's bike ride, each providing practical examples of graphing independent and dependent variables. The tutorial also includes homework exercises on graph matching and a discussion on the formula for the area of a circle. Finally, it covers graphing rectangles and understanding slopes.

In the story about the dog, what does Diego's graph represent?

• The dog's distance from the camera

• The dog's distance from its food bowl

• The dog's speed

• The dog's weight

What is the independent variable in Jada's swimming practice example?

• Time spent practicing

• Number of laps

• Number of swimming races

• Time to swim one lap

In Andre's money-saving example, what happens in week four?

• He adds more money

• He takes out some money

• He spends all the money

• He saves the same amount as week three

What does the graph of Noah's bike ride illustrate?

• The number of stops made

• The type of bike used

• The distance traveled over time

• The speed of the bike

Based on the graph, which location is closer to Noah's home?

• The school

• The grocery store

• The park

• The friend's house

In the homework discussion, which graph represents a constant decrease?

• Graph C

• Graph A

• Graph D

• Graph B

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

• Area = 2πr²

• Area = πr²

• Area = 2πr

• Area = πr

Is the area of a circle a function of its radius?

• No, because the area is constant

• Yes, because the radius is constant

• No, because the radius depends on the area

• Yes, because the area depends on the radius

What happens to the radius if the area of a circle is doubled?

• The radius is halved

• The radius is doubled

• The radius increases by a factor of √2

• The radius remains the same

In the context of a rectangle with a perimeter of 24, what does a slope of -1 indicate?

• The perimeter changes with length

• The rectangle is a square

• For every unit increase in width, length increases by one unit

• For every unit increase in length, width decreases by one unit
