Answer:
$24
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the cost to cover one pair of shoes.
Cost to cover one pair of shoes = surface area of the shoe box × cost per square inch
= 2(LW + LH + HW) × 0.02
L = 14 in.
W = 8 in.
H = 4 in.
Plug in the values
Cost to cover one pair of shoes = 2(14*8 + 14*4 + 4*8) × 0.02
= 2(112 + 56 + 32) × 0.02
= 2(200) × 0.02
= 400 × 0.02 = 8
Cost to cover one pair of shoes = $8
Cost to cover 3 pairs of shoes = 3*8 = $24
0.36 divided by 324 is 0.00111111
Answer: Choice A -- f(x) = (1/3)*|x|
============================================
The input of a function is x and the output is y = f(x)
To vertically compress a function, we will multiply the y value by some fraction smaller than 1. This is so that the y coordinates are a fraction of what they once were.
In this case, we multiply y by 1/3 so that something that has a y coordinate of y = 81 becomes y = 27 (divide by 3)
So we have y = f(x) become (1/3)*y = (1/3)*f(x) = (1/3)*|x|
