63. x should range from 0 to 48, and y should range from 0 to at
least 31.5.
65. (a) 1917; 1929 (b) 1925; 104,000

69. All four graphs have the same shape. Graph (b) is graph (a)
shifted 5 units vertically upward, graph (c) is graph (a)
shifted 5 units vertically downward, and graph (d) is graph
(a) shifted 2 units vertically downward.
71. Graph (b) is graph (a) stretched by a factor of 2 vertically
away from the x-axis; similarly for graph (c), except the
stretching factor is 3. Graph (d) is graph (a) shrunk verti-
cally toward the x-axis by a factor of
1
2
.
73. The graphs are “mirror images” of each other, with the
straight line y x being the mirror.
