To compare, think of the ratios as a fraction. so it is 32 slices per $7.99.
You can also say $7.99 per 32 slices.
so it can be  ̲7̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲   or the other way around.
                       32
To find the unit price, or the price of 1 item, you have to divide the price by the amount.
So 7.99 divided by 32 is <span>0.249687, but we don't have thousandths of a cent, so we round to the hundredth.
$0.25 is the unit price, or the price of 1 toast, rounded to the nearest cent.

So let's try another one, this time we have 2 different rates, and we will compare them.

So let's say we are buying cheese. Store A sells 12 blocks of cheese for $14.99, and Store B sells 20 blocks for $23.99.
So first we have to find the unit rate for each.

             Store A                                 Store B
         14.99 per 12                        23.99 per 20
                                         
             </span> ̲1̲4̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲                                  ̲2̲3̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲<span>
                 12                                         20

14.99 / 12 is </span>1.24916                    23.99 / 20 is <span>1.1995</span>
<span>$1.25, if rounded to the cent.    $1.20, if rounded to the cent
</span>1 block is $1.25 in Store A.         1 block is $1.20 in Store B

Store B sells for cheaper.

Hope that helps.

ANSWER

See attachment.

EXPLANATION

The given function is

y =  \sqrt[3]{x + 1}  - 2

The parent function is

y =  \sqrt[3]{x}

When we shift the parent graph to the left one unit, and down 2 units, we obtain the graph of the given function.

The graph of this function is shown in the attachment.

The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term, and the seventh term exceeds twice the third term
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is x.

The common difference is d.

The second term is x + d.

3rd term: x + 2d

4th term: x + 3d

7th term: x + 6d

"The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term"

x + 3d = 3 * x       Eq. 1

"the seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1"

x + 6d = 2(x + 2d) + 1       Eq. 2

Simplify Eq. 1:

2x = 3d

Simplify Eq. 2:

x + 6d = 2x + 4d + 1

x = 2d - 1

Multiply both sides of the last equation by 2.

2x = 4d - 2

2x = 3d   (simplified Eq. 1)

Since 2x = 2x, then the right sides are equal.

3d = 4d - 2

d = 2

2x = 3d

2x = 3(2)

2x = 6

x = 3

Answer: The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.
