Q. 117 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

Draw a graph that contains the points $\left(-2,-1\right),\left(0,1\right),\left(1,3\right),\left(3,5\right)$. Compare your graph with those of other students. Are most of the graphs almost straight lines? How

many are “curved”? Discuss the various ways that these points might be connected.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The other ways to similar to that of the sine wave. The graph is almost same of other students.

Step 1. Given Information

The points are $\left(-2,-1\right),\left(0,1\right),\left(1,3\right) and \left(3,5\right)$

Step 2. Plot the points in a coordinate plane

Connect all the coordinate points 

Step 3.

Another ways to connect these points is to use curve lines. That is, there will be formation of wavelike curves in the graph similar to that of the sine wave.
