  • Sketch a function using limits, turning points, intercepts and the stated domain.
  • Use limiting behaviour and derivative information to justify the shape of a model graph.
  • Interpret a multi-variable or trajectory graph and connect its features to the model parameters.

SL 2.3—Graphing functions question 1

[Maximum number: 3]

A student investigating the relationship between chemical reactions and temperature finds the Arrhenius equation on the internet.

k=AecTk=A \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{c}{T}}

This equation links a variable k with the temperature T, where A and c are positive constants and T>0.

Given that limTk=A\lim_{T\to\infty}k=A and limT0k=0\lim_{T\to0}k=0, sketch the graph of k against T.
