<span>to find the solution to this problem, we must understand that the sum of the amount that the customer could be bought is $12. $4.75 pound of kumquats and Asian pears for $3.75 mean mathematically as $12. $4.75 kumquats + $3.75 Asian, this last sum is equal to $12, so the true answer is the choice B: 4.75k + 3.75p = 12 Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
The question is defective, or at least is trying to lead you down the primrose path.
The function is linear, so the rate of change is the same no matter what interval (section) of it you're looking at.
The "rate of change" is just the slope of the function in the section. That's
(change in f(x) ) / (change in 'x') between the ends of the section.
In Section A:Length of the section = (1 - 0) = 1f(1) = 5f(0) = 0change in the value of the function = (5 - 0) = 5Rate of change = (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1 = 5
In Section B:Length of the section = (3 - 2) = 1 f(3) = 15f(2) = 10change in the value of the function = (15 - 10) = 5Rate of change = (change in the value of the function) / (size of the section) = 5/1 = 5
Part A:The average rate of change of each section is 5.
Part B:The average rate of change of Section B is equal to the average rate of change of Section A.
Explanation:The average rates of change in every section are equalbecause the function is linear, its graph is a straight line,and the rate of change is just the slope of the graph.
ANSWER:
b) No
c) Yes
EXPLANATION:
b)
3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3
(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)
-72 = -21
Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.
c)
3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
4.5 = 4.5
Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.

Notice how points T and Z are vertically aligned, or vertically lined up. This is where the graph fails the vertical line test.
The input x = 2 leads to the outputs y = 3 and y = 5 (which are the y coordinates of points Z and T in that order).
A function is only possible when any given input leads to <u>exactly one</u> output only. It would be like saying "the conversion function from Celsius to Fahrenheit has 0 degrees C convert to both 32 degrees F and 50 degrees F at the same time". But such a statement makes no sense and it's not useful. So this is one example of why having one output makes sense for a function.
In short, we need one output for any given input. But the input x = 2 leads to more than one output. That's why we don't have a function.
