1. **State the problem:** Match each function description to the correct graph type.
2. **Analyze each function:**
(a) The cost of painting a wall as a function of its square footage is typically a linear increasing function because cost increases proportionally with area.
(b) The height of a ball dropped from a 210-foot building as a function of time follows a decreasing curve due to gravity pulling it down.
(c) The height of a human as a function of time generally increases linearly or near-linearly during growth periods.
(d) The demand for hamburger as a function of price usually decreases as price increases, so it is a decreasing function.
(e) The height of a pendulum bob as a function of time oscillates sinusoidally because it swings back and forth.
3. **Match with graphs:**
- Graph I: linear increasing function (matches (a) or (c))
- Graph II: wavy/sinusoidal function (matches (e))
- Graph III: linear increasing function with steeper slope (matches (c) if different from (a))
- Graph IV: semicircle shape (does not match any given function)
- Graph V: decreasing curve (matches (b) and (d))
4. **Final matching:**
- (a) Cost of painting wall: Graph I (linear increasing)
- (b) Height of dropped ball: Graph V (decreasing curve)
- (c) Height of human: Graph III (linear increasing with steeper slope)
- (d) Demand for hamburger: Graph V (decreasing curve)
- (e) Height of pendulum bob: Graph II (sinusoidal)
5. **Summary:**
(a) → I
(b) → V
(c) → III
(d) → V
(e) → II
This matches the function behavior to the graph shapes logically.
