Answer:

$y=\frac{28}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form $y*x=k$ or $y=k/x$

we have

y = 4 when x = 7

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=y*x$

substitute

$k=(4)(7)=28$

therefore

The equation for the inverse variation is equal to

$y=\frac{28}{x}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this graph we can see a "Parabola", this is the curve for a second degree polynomial function, and based on "Fundamental theorem of algebra" we can know that this polynomial has 2 roots (they can be real or imaginary).

In this graph, the curve doesn't touch the X axis, so we know that this function has not real root. So both roots are complex

The graph below shows the value of Edna's profits f(t), in dollars, after t months:

Since we know that the graph of our quadratic function has x-intercepts at (6,0) and (18,0), $x=6$ and $x=18$ are the zeroes of our quadratic. To find our quadratic we are going to factor each zero backwards and multiply them:
$x=6$
$x-6=0$
$x=18$
$x-18=0$

$(x-6)(x-18)=x^{2}-6x-18x+108$
$=x^{2}-24x+108$

Now that we have our quadratic function, we are going to use the average formula: $m= \frac{f(9)-f(3)}{9-3}$
$where$
$f(9)$ is the function evaluated at the <span>9th month
</span> $f(3)$ is the function evaluated at the 3rd month

$m= \frac{f(9)-f(3)}{9-3}$
$m= \frac{[9^{2}-24(9)+108]-[3^{2}-24(3)+108]}{9-3}$
$m= \frac{-27-45}{6}$
$m= \frac{-72}{6}$
$m=-12$

We can conclude that the closest approximate average rate of change for Edna's profits from the 3rd month to the 9th month is: <span>B. −11.63 dollars per month.</span>
