A graph shows the relationship between the area of a square on the x-axis and the length of its side on the y-axis. Which statement is true about this graph?

A) As the area increases, the side length increases proportionally.
B) As the area increases, the side length increases in a non-proportional manner. C)As the area increases, the side length decreases proportionally.
D)As the area increases, the side length decreases in a non-proportional manner.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) As the area increases, the side length increases in a non-proportional manner.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function described the formula is:

  • y = [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]

This is the increasing function but increase rate is not proportional to the increase rate of the variable.

Correct statement about this function is:

  • B) As the area increases, the side length increases in a non-proportional manner.
