Q. What happens to the value of the expression c+2 as c increases?Choose 1 answer:(A) It increases.(B) It decreases.(C) It stays the same.
Analysis of Expression: Let's analyze the expression c+2. This is a linear expression where c is the variable and 2 is a constant. As c increases, we add a larger number to the constant 2.
Behavior with Increasing c: To understand the behavior of the expression, let's consider increasing c by a small amount, say 1. If c was initially 0, then c+2 would be 0+2=2. If we increase c to 1, then c+2 becomes c0. We can see that the value of the expression has increased.
Pattern of Increase: This pattern will hold for any increase in c. If we increase c by any positive amount, the value of c+2 will increase by that same amount because the 2 is a constant and does not change.
Characteristics of Linear Function: Therefore, as c increases, the value of the expression c+2 also increases. This is characteristic of a linear function with a positive slope.
