Need help on Part A!
2 answers:
In part A, you have been tasked with constructing an algebraic expression that represents the total cost of kitten supplies.
There are two types of kittens identified in the question: young kittens and older kittens. Let's say m is the number of young kittens and n is the number of older kittens.
The young kittens' food is $3.99 per bottle. The older kittens' food is $1.50 per can.
Based on the number of each type of kitten, the cost will vary.
The second part of the question asks you to identify specific parts of the equation. The coefficients are 3.99 and 1.50. There are no constants in the expression. The variables are m and n.
Let k represent the cost of supplies, b the number of bottles, and c the number of cans. You know that the total cost is found by adding the number of bottles multiplied by the price of each to the number of cans multiplied by their unit price. (This is the computation performed anytime you purchase something.)
There are no constants in this equation.

The function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic. Then the quadratic equation is y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2.
<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>It is a polynomial that is equal to zero. Polynomial of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms are there. Any equation having one term in which the power of the variable is a maximum of 2 then it is called a quadratic equation.

(a) A student chose to model the data with the function, y = 0.9286x + 9.0571 . Then the function is not treated as linear because whenever we throw the thing in the air it traces the path of the parabola which is quadratic.
(b) Write a function
We know that the quadratic equation is given as ax² + bx + c = y
This will pass through the points (1, 9.3), (2, 12.9), and (3, 14). Then we have
On solving the equations 1, 2, and 3. Then we have
a = -1.25, b = 7.35, and c = 3.2
Then the quadratic equation will be
y = -1.25x² + 7.35x + 3.2
