Answer 2

B, C, E and F are correct answers.

Explanation:

Continuous graphs are those, that are smooth and without any jumps and these represent functions that are continuous along their entire domain.

So, the correct answers here are :

B. total cost, c, of buying g pounds of broccoli.

C. speed of a car, s, as it accelerates over time, t.

E. total distance, d, that has been driven over time, t .

F. decrease in outside temperature, F, one evening over time, t.

A is not an option as the cans must be in whole numbers and it cannot be continuous. Similarly, D is also wrong as the number of stamps cannot be real numbers or continuous.
