Answers:
- Choice B) y = (1/4)x
- The unit rate is <u> 3.89 </u> dollars per pound. It costs <u> 23.34 </u> dollars for a turkey that weighs 6 pounds.
=====================================================
Explanations:
- Direct proportional equations are always in the form y = kx, where k is some constant. In the case of choice B, we have k = 1/4. Visually, direct proportion equations are always straight lines and go through the origin.
- Divide $34.99 over 9 to get 34.99/9 = 3.88777 approximately. This rounds to 3.89, so it costs $3.89 per pound. That's the unit rate. Multiply this by 6 to get 6*3.89 = 23.34 which is the cost of the 6 pound turkey.
Answer: -1>4
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest terms to check are the first (8x)(2x²) = 16x³ and the last (-5)(-6) = 30. This check eliminates the first choice. The remaining choices differ only in the sign and coefficient of the squared term, so that is the one we need to find.
The squared term will be the sum of the products of factors whose degrees total 2:
(8x)(-5x) + (-5)(2x²) = -40x² -10x² = -50x²
The appropriate choice is
16x³ -50x² -23x +30
