Question

In the first four months of the year, Noralie’s jewelry sales were declining. After April, her sales began to improve. Which of the following tables of data represents Noralie’s jewelry sales if the sales are represented by the following function?

Answer 1

I think I found the complete problem which is shown in the attached picture. The given function is a piecewise function.

So, from months 1 to 3, we follow the equation: y = -x + 8
@x = 1, y = -1 + 8 = 7
@x = 2, y = -2 + 8 = 6
@x = 3, y = -3 + 8 = 5

Then, from months 4 to 12, we follow the equation: y = x
@x = 4, y = 4
@x = 5, y = 5
And so on and so forth. Thus, the table of data should be:

x y
