To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.
- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50
So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb

- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00
And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb

Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.

94. Birth Rate of Unmarried Women In the United States, the birth rate B of unmarried women (births per 1000 unmarried women) fo
OLga [1]

Using concepts of quadratic equation, we have that:

a) The age of unmarried women with the highest birth rate 29 years.

b) The highest birth rate of unmarried women is of 65 births per 1000 unmarried women.

c) B(40) = 25.43, which means that the birth rate of unmarried women of age 40 is of 25.43 births per 1000 unmarried women.

The birth-rate for women of age a is given by:

B(a) = -0.33a^2 + 19.17a - 213.37

Which is a quadratic equation with coefficients a = -0.33, b = 19.17, c = -213.37

Item a:

The age with the highest value is the a-value for the vertex, which is:

a_V = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{19.17}{2(-0.33)} = 29

The age of unmarried women with the highest birth rate 29 years.

Item b:

The rate is B(29), which is:

B(29) = -0.33(29)^2 + 19.17(29) - 213.37 = 65

The highest birth rate of unmarried women is of 65 births per 1000 unmarried women.

Item c:

B(40) = -0.33(40)^2 + 19.17(40) - 213.37 = 25.43

B(40) = 25.43, which means that the birth rate of unmarried women of age 40 is of 25.43 births per 1000 unmarried women.
