Answer:

y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The level of a lake is falling linearly.

On Jan 1, the level is 452 inches

On Jan 21, the level is 378 inches.

Now, a linear function can be represented in the form:

y=mx+b

Where, 'm' is the rate of change and 'b' is initial level

x\to number\ of\ days\ passed\ since\ Jan\ 1

y\to Lake\ level

So, let Jan 1 corresponds to the initial level and thus b = 452 in

Now, the rate of change is given as the ratio of the change in level of lake to the number of days passed.

So, from Jan 1 to Jan 21, the days passed is 21.

Change in level = Level on Jan 21 - Level on Jan 1

Change in level = 378 in - 452 in = -74 in

Now, rate of change is given as:

m=\frac{-74}{21}

Hence, the function to represent the lake level is y=-\frac{74}{21}x+452

Where, 'x' is the number of days passed since Jan 1.

We want to see which offer is the best one to buy 40 batteries, by using algebra we will see that the best offer is offer-B

<h3>How to find the best offer?</h3>

Here we just need to see which would be the cost of 40 batteries which each offer.

For offer-A, a pack of 4 costs £2.52 and we have 1/3 off.

For 40 batteries the cost will be 10 times the above quantity, we get:

10* £2.52 =  £25.20

But there is a 1/3 off, so the cost would be 2/3 of the above quantity:

£25.20*(2/3) = £16.80

For offer-B we know that a pack of 5 costs £2.75, so you need to buy 8 of these. And for each 3 you get one free, so you need to buy 6 (and get 2 free ones). The cost of 6 of these is:

6*£2.75 = $16.50

From this, we can conclude that offer-B is the best one.

oee [108]

I know my picture stinks, but it is possible. If you make it into a triangle shape, but move the table a bit closer to the throwing wheel (as shown) it works out great. If you ever get a problem like his again, just think outside the box for different solutions.
