Answer:

$1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of apple be $x .

now according to question the two shoppers spend the same amount

4.75x+4=5.5x+3

0.75x=1

x= 4/3= $1.33

therefore, pound of apples cost = $1.33

The correct works are:

$Blue(s + h) = 2s^2 + 4sh + 2h^2 + 3$ .
$\frac{Blue(s + h) - Blue(s)}{h} = 4s + 2h$

<h3>Function Notation</h3>

The function is given as:

$Blue(s) = 2s^2 + 3$

The interpretation when Steven is asked to calculate Blue(s + h) is that:

Steven is asked to find the output of the function Blue, when the input is s + h

So, we have:

$Blue(s + h) = 2(s + h)^2 + 3$

Evaluate the exponent

$Blue(s + h) = 2(s^2 + 2sh + h^2) + 3$

Expand the bracket

$Blue(s + h) = 2s^2 + 4sh + 2h^2 + 3$

So, the correct work is:

$Blue(s + h) = 2s^2 + 4sh + 2h^2 + 3$

<h3>Simplifying Difference Quotient</h3>

In (a), we have:

$Blue(s + h) = 2s^2 + 4sh + 2h^2 + 3$

$Blue(s) = 2s^2 + 3$

The difference quotient is represented as:

$\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}$

So, we have:

$\frac{Blue(s + h) - Blue(s)}{h} = \frac{2s^2 + 4sh + 2h^2 + 3 - 2s^2 - 3}{h}$

Evaluate the like terms

$\frac{Blue(s + h) - Blue(s)}{h} = \frac{4sh + 2h^2}{h}$

Evaluate the quotient

$\frac{Blue(s + h) - Blue(s)}{h} = 4s + 2h$

Hence, the correct work is:

$\frac{Blue(s + h) - Blue(s)}{h} = 4s + 2h$

Given the equation -2x + 8y = 24, determine the x- and y-intercepts. PLZ HELP???

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$x=(-12,0)$

$y=(0,3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>x-intercept</em></u>

$-2(x-4y)=24$

$x-4y=-\frac{24}{2}$

$x-4y=-12$

$x=4y-12$

$x=4(0)-12$

$x=-12$

<u><em>y-intercept </em></u>

$-2(x-4y)=24$

$x-4y=-\frac{24}{2}$

$x-4y=-12$

$-4y=-12-x$

$y=-\frac{-12-x}{4}$

$y=-\frac{-12-(0)}{4}$

$y=\frac{12}{4}$

$y=3$
