Since p is the midpoint then xp and pay must equal each other
So, 11-6b=6-b
Solve for b
11-6b=6-b
-6 -6
5-6b=-b
+6b +6b
5=5b
b=1
xp=11-6(1)
xp=5
1. The vertical asymptote requires the denominator have a zero at that location. The x-intercept requires the numerator have a zero at that location. The horizontal asymptote amounts to a multiplier of the function:
... y = 2(x +5)/(x -3)
2. The vertical asymptote requires the denominator have a zero at that location. The oblique asymptote is an add-on
... y = 1/(x +1) +(x +2)
... y = (x² +3x +3)/(x +1)
To find the cost per pound you simply divide the amount paid by the amount purchased
For Beef it would be:
$7.20 ÷ 2.0 = $3.60
For Pork it would be:
$8.10 ÷ 2.5 = $3.40
For Chicken it would be:
$9.80 ÷ 3.5 = $2.8
Answer:
Its non linear because of the x squared. This would indicate an ever increasing answer, not one that has a constant rate. This equation would be quadratic.
