THE FUNCTION IS CONTINUOUS - True
The table indicates that for every hour indicated, there is a corresponding amount of juice (cups) provided. The graph would represent a linear progression between the hours of 4 and 8 without any discontinuities.
TIME IS THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE - False
Time acts as the independent variable since it remains unaffected by any other factors. Conversely, the number of cups is contingent upon the hours, categorizing it as a dependent variable.
THE SCENARIO IS CHARACTERIZED BY
A LINEAR FUNCTION AS THE RATE OF CHANGE IS CONSTANT - True
The rate of change is a steady 53 cups per hour, indicating a linear function.
AS TIME INCREASES, THERE ARE FEWER CUPS OF JUICE POURED EACH HOUR - False
Since the rate of change is positive, the cups poured each hour will actually increase.
FOR EACH EXTRA HOUR, 53 CUPS OF JUICE ARE POURED - True
The hourly difference in cups poured is consistently 53.
