The production manager is going to present this information to the company's board of directors. which graph should the manager use to best emphasize that the number of defects has remained relatively consistent throughout the year?

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to consider that variables that represent time are always independent, because the time doesn't depend on anything. So, in this case the variable months have to be in the horizontal, which is the independent variable correct position, and the vertical axis must contain the dependent variable, which is number of defects. Considering these important details, there are only two possible correct choices, the third and fourth graph.

Among those two, the third one emphasize better the relation between the given variables, basically because the length of the vertical axis is shorter, which allow to observe better the behaviour of the data, that's the only characteristic that differentiate the third graph from the fourth graph.

Therefore, the third graph is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
