where c is the cost, s is the slope, x is the number of cubic yards of mulch bought, and b is the y-intercept ( a constant that no depends on the number x)

Then we know that:

The company charges $50 per cubic yard, so the slope is $50

A delivery charge of $24, this delivery charge does not depend on x, so this is the y-intercept.

Then our equation is:

c(x) = $50*x + $24

This is:

"The cost of buying x cubic yards of mulch"

Multiply or divide to find two equivalent fractions of 1/2

patriot [66]

Answer:

3/6 and 5/10

Explanation:

Given the fraction 1/2:

(a)Multiply the numerator and denominator by 3

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{6}$

An equivalent fraction is 3/6.

(b)Multiply the numerator and denominator by 5:

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{10}$

An equivalent fraction is 5/10.

Answer:

$2.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,0.8)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (0,2)$

$(x_3,y_3) = (1,5)$

$(x_4,y_4) = (2,12.5)$

Required

The rate of change (b)

The above graph is represented as:

$y = ab^x$

For: $(x_2,y_2) = (0,2)$ ;

We have:

$y = ab^x$

$2 = a * b^0$

$2 = a *1$

$2 = a$

$a = 2$

For $(x_3,y_3) = (1,5)$ ,

We have:

$y = ab^x$

$5 = a * b^1$

$5 = a * b$

Substitute $a = 2$

$5 = 2 * b$

Divide by 2

$2.5 = b$

$b = 2.5$

<em>Hence, the rate of change is 2.50</em>
