Answer:

(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.

Part A:

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.

The formula to compute the slope is:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)

Compute the slope of the line as follows:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{70-28}{10-4}\\\\=\frac{42}{6}\\\\=7$

Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.

Part B:

The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:

Number of Bushels Price

2 10

4 20

6 30

8 40

Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:

Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{30-10}{6-2}\\\\=\frac{20}{4}\\\\=5$

The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.

Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Why do many people think it is better to not receive a refund from the irs at the end of the year?

Monica [59]

Because the more years you go without receiving it the more it comes out to after you cash out. It starts to add up year by year :)

Frieda is 67 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. women her age have a mean height of 65 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 i

blsea [12.9K]

Frieda's weight is 1 Standard Deviation above the meanwhile her height is less than 1 Standard Deviation away from the mean. This means her height is closer to the mean than her weight.
As a result, we would say that her weight is definitely more unusual than her height because her weight is more standard deviations away from the mean.

Therefore,
in relative terms, it is correct to say that: Frieda's height is more unusual than her weight.

What 2 numbers divide to get 375 while multiplying to equal 38.4?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Well, 375 is a composite number.

Prime factorization: 375 = 3 x 5 x 5 x 5, which can be written 375 = 3 x (5^3)

The exponents in the prime factorization are 1 and 3.

Factors of 375: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75, 125, 375.

Factor pairs: 375 = 1 x 375, 3 x 125, 5 x 75, or 15 x 25. Good Luck!
