the most talked about me All right Which of the
- 00:24
following graphs best models the relationship between a gn enemy
- 00:28
toxicity x and the number of clown fish Why And
- 00:33
here the pencil answer All right who doesn't choose their
- 00:38
home based on the an enemy toxicity Back when our
- 00:41
realtor was helping us get a new pad that was
- 00:44
one of the main things we looked for A quiet
- 00:46
neighborhood good schools and good and enemy toxicity Hey it
- 00:49
wasn't our first rodeo All right This one is simple
- 00:53
enough information wise when the an enemy had a toxicity
- 00:56
of one or nine In other words on the very
- 00:58
high end or the very low in the clown fish
- 01:01
population wasn't very high at toxicity levels of three and
- 01:06
seven So a little bit higher than the lowest lows
- 01:09
and a little bit lower than the highest of highs
- 01:11
A few more clownfish had set up shop but a
- 01:15
toxicity level of five smack dab in the middle It
- 01:18
was an absolute clown Fish haven apparently that's their hamptons
- 01:23
The question is which of these four graphs best represents
- 01:27
this relationship of clownfish to a gn enemy toxicity Well
- 01:32
since five is the prime toxicity level and the clown
- 01:35
fish population falls on either side of that number That's
- 01:39
going to need to be the vertex of our cur
- 01:42
Since the clown fish population drops off the further below
- 01:46
or above that number we go The graph should also
- 01:49
drop off on both sides from that point Well graft
- 01:53
b doesn't have the right vertex that uses the point
- 01:55
three too So we can rule that one out right
- 01:57
away and graphs See the vertex of five is a
- 02:00
minimum not a maximum indicating that this is where you
- 02:03
find the fewest clown fish with no for a fact
- 02:06
is other hug walk He was apparently blindfolded and turned
- 02:10
around a few times because well it's totally disoriented there's
- 02:13
No maximum representative x equals five So we can nix
- 02:16
thea's Well well the award for graph of our dreams
- 02:19
goes the option a which has a vertex of the
- 02:22
appropriate spot and demonstrates that the clown fish population decreases
- 02:27
the further away you get from that number So if
- 02:29
you're ever passing through a potential clownfish neighborhood and you
- 02:32
don't particularly care for the cut of their jib well 00:02:35.83 --> [endTime] you know where to hang Out
