Question:
Andrea is selling flowers at a farmer's market. One day, she sells flowers to 88 out of the 2020 people who walk by her flower stand. Andrea wants to create a function, S(x)S(x), to model the rate of her sales that day based on xx, the number of people that walked by her flower stand.
Part A: Based on the given information, which description of S(x)S(x) is most accurate?
Part B: Daniel’s candy stand is next to Andrea’s flower stand. He made sales to twice the number of people Andrea did. How can Daniel modify S(x)S(x) to model his rate of sales that day?
Select one answer that is completely correct for Part A, and select one answer for Part B.
A: S(x)S(x) describes the growth rate of the number of people purchasing flowers from Andrea’s flower stand. Andrea’s sales rate is accelerating constantly. Based on these features, S(x)S(x) should be a quadratic function.
A: S(x)S(x) describes the number of people who purchased flowers versus the total number of people who walked by Andrea’s flower stand. The fraction 820820 needs to be divided by xx, so S(x)S(x) should be a rational function.
A: S(x)S(x) describes the growth rate of the number of people purchasing flowers from Andrea’s flower stand. Because the amount is always increasing, S(x)S(x) should be exponential.
A: S(x)S(x) describes the number of people who purchased flowers versus the total number of people who walked by Andrea’s flower stand. The fraction 820820 needs to be multiplied by xx, so S(x)S(x) should be a linear function.
B: Daniel should add S(x)S(x) to the constant function f(x)=2f(x)=2.
B: Daniel should multiply S(x)S(x) by the constant function f(x)=2f(x)=2.
B: Daniel should multiply S(x)S(x) by the linear function f(x)=2xf(x)=2x.
B: Daniel should add S(x)S(x) to the constant function f(x)=2xf(x)=2x.
