2(3+3) or 2(3)+6, so the answer is the third option. It’s just using the distributive property.
Xm=(2+2)/2=2
Ym=(1+4)/2=2.5
(2,2.5)
Add 165 to 245. That is a total of 410kWh.
245kWh is more than 50% of 410kWh.
So, according to the plan, you will pay NightTimer rate for kWh at night and DayTimer rate during the day.
The work done:

The raw, accurate, answer is that the value to pay is $22.08085.
In real terms, it is closer to your $22.08 option. That is the one I'd take.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Each vertical asymptote corresponds to a zero in the denominator. When the function does not change sign from one side of the asymptote to the other, the factor has even degree. The vertical asymptote at x=-4 corresponds to a denominator factor of (x+4). The one at x=2 corresponds to a denominator factor of (x-2)², because the function does not change sign there.
__
Each zero corresponds to a numerator factor that is zero at that point. Again, if the sign doesn't change either side of that zero, then the factor has even multiplicity. The zero at x=1 corresponds to a numerator factor of (x-1)².
__
Each "hole" in the function corresponds to numerator and denominator factors that are equal and both zero at that point. The hole at x=-3 corresponds to numerator and denominator factors of (x-3).
__
Taken altogether, these factors give us the function ...
