Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG1.132 Reasoning and Mathematical Arguments skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
App users were recorded for years 2018-2022 as 12, 18, 26, 37, and 51 thousand users. A student uses an increasing line of fit to predict users in 2040. Which critique is most appropriate?
AThe prediction is an extrapolation far beyond the observed years, so the trend may not continue that long.
BThe prediction is guaranteed because a line of fit always works for future years.
CThe prediction is invalid only because the data values are not whole numbers.
DThe prediction must be lower than 51 thousand because the first value is 12 thousand.
Solution & Explanation:Using a model far outside the range of observed data is extrapolation. It can be risky because growth patterns, technology, or market limits may change.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A substance has amounts 160, 80, 40, and 20 grams after 0, 1, 2, and 3 hours. Which argument correctly supports an exponential half-life model?
AThe amount decreases by a constant 80 grams each hour, so the model is linear.
BEach hour the amount is multiplied by 1/2, so a valid model is A = 160(1/2)t.
CThe model is A = 160 - 80t because the amount reaches 20 grams.
DThe model is exponential only if the amount becomes 0 after 4 hours.
Solution & Explanation:The ratios 80/160, 40/80, and 20/40 are all 1/2. A constant ratio for equal time intervals supports an exponential decay model with starting value 160.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A quadratic table has points (2, 2), (3, -1), (4, -2), (5, -1), and (6, 2). Which argument correctly identifies the vertex and axis of symmetry?
AThe y-values are symmetric around x = 4, and the least value is -2 at x = 4, so the vertex is (4, -2) and the axis is x = 4.
BThe vertex is (2, 2) because it is the first point in the table.
CThe axis is y = 4 because 4 is the middle x-value.
DThe vertex is (6, 2) because it has the greatest x-value.
Solution & Explanation:The table shows equal y-values at equal distances from x = 4: points at x = 2 and x = 6 match, and x = 3 and x = 5 match. The minimum occurs at (4, -2), so that is the vertex.
