Answer:

The loose sweets at ?0.89 for 100 g.


Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the price per gram. You do this by dividing the price by the grams.

?1.49 / 120 g =  1.49 / 120 = 0.0124 (4 dp)

Because the answer was very long, I have rounded it to 4 decimal places (4 dp).

?0.89 / 100 g = 0.89 / 100 = 0.0089

Next, you must calculate both pre-packed and loose sweets to the same weight. I am calculating them both to 100 g.

0.0124 x 100 = 1.24

0.0089 x 100 = 0.89

Finally, the cheapest product for 100 g will be the better value. In this case, it is the loose sweets.

What is the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [4,13]?
mestny [16]

we know that

Average Rate of Change. is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value for two distinct points on the graph

So

A=\frac{(f(b)-f(a))}{(b-a)}

in this problem

a=4\\ b=13\\ f(a)=f(4)=8\\ f(b)=f(13)=11

substitute the values in the formula above

A=\frac{(11-8)}{(13-4)} \\ \\ A=\frac{3}{9}

Divide by 3 both numerator and denominator

A=\frac{1}{3}

therefore

the answer is

\frac{1}{3}

Solve for x^2-2x+1=0
seraphim [82]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x+1=0\\

We will start by using the quadratic formula.

\frac{-(-2)+-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(1)}}{2(1)}

We will simplify that and get:

\frac{-(-2)}{2(1)}

So our answers would be:

x=1

Distribute -(-4v+6.3w-9.8)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

4v-6.3w+9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you distribute the negative sign (same as distributing -1), then you get -(-4v) + (-6.3w) - (-(9.8))

Basically it's switching the signs

Hope that helped :)
