Answer:

Potato price = $1.5 / pound ; Carrot price = $1.75 / pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of carrot per pound = c

Let price of potatoes per pound = p

Given :

2c + 3p  = 8   (eqtn A)

4c + 4p = 13 (eqtn B)

Multiplying eqtn A by 2 ;

4c + 6p = 16

4c = 16 - 6p (eqtn Y)

By eqtn B ;

4c = 13 - 4p (eqtn Z)

By eqtn Y & Z ;

16 - 6p = 13 - 4p

16 - 13 = - 4p + 6p

3 = 2p

p = 3 /2

p = 1.5 [Potato price]

Putting p value in eqtn A

2c + 3 (1.5) = 8

2c + 4.5 = 8

2c = 8 - 4.5

2c = 3.5

c = 3.5 / 2

c = 1.75 [Carrot Price]

Which function has lowest rate of change?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

A: Algebraic Function

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic function is given as;

5x – 2y = 15

Since we are dealing with rate of change, let's make y the subject first and find dy/dx.

Thus;

2y = 5x - 15

y = (5x/2) - 15/2

dy/dx = 5/2

dy/dx = 2.5

The verbal function is given as;

Cost of 5 pencils is 15 dollars

Thus, rate of 1 pencil = 15/5 = 3 pencils per dollar

We can see that the lowest rate of change is 2.5 and it is the algebraic function.
