Answer:
w=+/-4.24 or whatever could be either since its squared
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 25 so 5x^2=90. divide by 5 so w^2=18 then square root to get rid of the ^2 so w=+/-4.24
The weight is proportional to the price. So if 10lb cost $18.24, quarter as much (2.5lb) would cost four times less($18.24÷4=$4.56).
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A relation is a function if each input gives exactly one output. There is one price for each number of pounds, so the relation is a function.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Relations expressed in terms of ordered pairs or tables can be identified as "not a function" if any input (x) value is repeated. Relations expressed as a graph will be "not a function" if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point. (This is called "the vertical line test.")
The cost function in this case is a straight line through the origin. It has a slope of $5.99/lb. Any polynomial relation will be a function.
