Rate of change of profit for this period is $2750 per month

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Profit of $6500 in January and $17,500 in May

<em><u>To find: Rate of change</u></em>

Since,

January is the first month of the year (1) while May is the fifth month (5)

<em><u>Therefore, we get two points</u></em>

(1, 6500) and (5, 17500)

Using these points we can find the rate of change in profit for this time period

<em><u>The rate of change using the following formula:</u></em>

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here from the points,

(x_1, y_1) = (1, 6500)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 17500)

<em><u>Therefore, rate of change is given as:</u></em>

m = \frac{17500-6500}{5-1}\\\\m = \frac{11000}{4}\\\\m = 2750

Thus rate of change of profit for this period = $2750 per month

Which graph represents the given equation?
Alchen [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry of quadratic ax²+bx+c is x=-b/(2a). For the given equation, the axis of symmetry is ...

  x = -4/(2(3/2)) = -4/3

The only graph with its vertex at x=-4/3 is graph A.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can also make the correct choice by evaluating the equation at a couple of different values of x. Convenient ones are x= -1, or 0, or +1. The value at x=0 is the y-intercept, (0, -2), which seems to be a point on all of the graphs. The value at x=1 is 3/2+4-2 = 3.5, which looks like it is only seen on graph A.

3 ⅕ -⅔ divided by 2 ⅘
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

160/196

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be easier if you converted all fractions to improper fractions

so 3 1/5 would equal 16/5 and 2 4/5 would equal to 14/5

\frac{14}{5} - \frac{2}{3} : to solve this you would need the same common denomenator,

to do this you can multiply 5 and 3 by something to make the lowest common denominator, which would be 15

thus

multiplying first fraction by 3 and the second by 5

42/15 - 10/15 = 32/15

now 32/15 divided by 14/5

the rule for dividing fractions, is flipping the fraction which you will be using to divide, and then multiplying it to the first fraction:

\frac{32}{14} multiplied by \frac{5}{14}

thus, answer is 160/196
