Chapter 4.1, Problem 3LC

To determine

To match: one of the labeled segments in the graph below with given of the following verbal descriptions.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Given verbal description

“rising slowly, constant, and falling quickly”.

Calculation:

Consider below graph

D

Observe above graph. For segment B, the data values across $x$ axis $y$ axis have been changing slowly and thus segment B can be termed as rising slowly.

Segment C depicts a horizontal line which means there is no change in data and thus segment C is a constant segment.

Similarly, for segment D is represented by a vertical line which means the data values have changed drastically. Thus, segment D can be called as falling quickly.
