Answer:
The answer is D.) 6/8 and 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you count how many lines there are you get 8 lines so we know the denominator has to be eight and since the point is on the 6th line the first one is 6/8 and since you can simplify it you get 3/4 which gives you D.)

Any linear function is of the form y=mx+b
Here m is slope and b is y intercept.
Slope is difference in y divided by different in x values .
In the question for 5 persons cost is $100 and for 10 persons cost is $162.50
So the points are (5,100) and (10,162.50)
Slope m=
=12.50
We can find the value of b by taking m=12.50 and (x,y)=(5,100)
Substitute these values in y=mx+b
100=12.50(5)+b
100=62.50+b
Subtracting 62.50 both sides
b=100-62.50
b=37.5
a) Put m=12.50 and b=37.50 to get the equation
y=12.50x+37.50
b)Rate of change is the m value or the slope of the function.
Initial value that is (5,100) gives us one of the points to find the rate of change.
Find the total cost of producing 5 widgets. Widget Wonders produces widgets. They have found that the cost, c(x), of making x widgets is a quadratic function in terms of x. The company also discovered that it costs $15.50 to produce 3 widgets, $23.50 to produce 7 widgets, and $56 to produce 12 widgets.
OK...so we have
a(7)^2 + b(7) + c = 23.50 → 49a + 7b + c = 23.50 (1)
a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 15.50 → 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 subtracting the second equation from the first, we have
40a + 4b = 8 → 10a + b = 2 (2)
Also
a(12)^2 + b(12) + c = 56 → 144a + 12b + c = 56 and subtracting (1) from this gives us
95a + 5b = 32.50
And using(2) we have
95a + 5b = 32.50 (3)
10a + b = 2.00 multiplying the second equation by -5 and adding this to (3) ,we have
45a = 22.50 divide both sides by 45 and a = 1/2 and using (2) to find b, we have
10(1/2) + b = 2
5 + b = 2 b = -3
And we can use 9a + 3b + c = 15.50 to find "c"
9(1/2) + 3(-3) + c = 15.50
9/2 - 9 + c = 15.50
-4.5 + c = 15.50
c = 20
So our function is
c(x) = (1/2)x^2 - (3)x + 20
And the cost to produce 5 widgets is = $17.50
If the base is 2 and the exponent is the the expression would look like this → 2³. In order to simplify it, you have to multiply the base number by the number of the exponent.
2×2×2=8
Therefore, the simplified expression would be 8.
