The graph represents p(x) = |x|
To graph r(x) and q(x), pick any values of x to graph (I'd pick the numbers on the x- scales, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, and 6)
As for explaining them, I'm sure something like "multiply the absolute value of x by -1/2" for describing q(x) is an acceptable answer.
Answer:
The correct option for the answer is C.) $3.29 / $2.96
Step-by-step explanation:
i) national average for a gallon of gas = $2.74
ii) for transportation New York is 1.2 times the National average
therefore one gallon of gas in New York will cost = 1.2
$2.74 = $3.29
iii)for transportation Los Angeles is 1.08 times the National average
therefore one gallon of gas in New York will cost = 1.08
$2.74 = $2.96
Therefore you should expect to pay for gas in New York versus Los Angeles C.) $3.29 / $2.96
