1. We need to find how many times John Jogger went to the gym.
He goes 2x weekly for 13 weeks.
13 x 2 = 26 times in the first 3 months.
We still have another 9 months left. He goes twice monthly for each month.
9 x 2 = 18.
We add the total times he went to the gym for the first 3 months to the other 9 months in the year.
26 + 18 = 44 times in one year. If we repeat this for 3 years, you get 44 x 3 = 132 gym visits in three years.
The gym membership is $395 per year. For three years this is 395 x 3 = $1185.
He went to the gym 132 times for a total of $1185. To find the price per visit, divide the total price by the amount of times he went to the gym.
1185/132 = ~$8.98 per gym visit.
2. If 13 weeks = 3 months (1/4 of a year), then there are 52 weeks per year.
If he goes twice every week for 52 weeks, that's 52 x 2 = 104 times per year. If he kept this up for three years, that's 104 x 3 = 312 gym visits in three years.
At the price we found earlier of $1185 for a three-year membership, divide the price by the total number of visits to find the price per visit.
1185/312 = ~$3.80 per gym visit.
Answer:
I have a couple questions before I answer, what do the 2 dashes represent and are the 4s also under the square root?
Think of the inequalities as equations in the form of y=Mx+b. Notice how choices C and D match the line shown in the graph if they are seen as linear functions. Now look at the inequality. Since the shaded region is below the line, y must be less than what is input. The correct answer must be choice D.

P.S. if you found this helpful, plz leave a “thanks”. Thx!

Answer:
f(x) = {-x for x < 2; 2x-3 for x ≥ 2}
Step-by-step explanation:
The blue line extending to the left has a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 0. Its equation is y = -x. That part of the definition of f(x) is applicable for values of x less than 2. (The open dot at (2, -2) tells you that point is not included.)
The red line extending to the right has a slope = rise/run = 2/1 = 2. The y-intercept can be found by extending the line to the y-axis, or from the computation ...
b = y -mx
b = 1 -2(2) = -3 . . . . . for the point (x, y) = (2, 1)
Then the slope-intercept equation for the red line is ...
y = 2x -3
That part of the definition of f(x) is applicable for values of x ≥ 2. The solid dot tells you the point (2, 1) is included.
Putting these parts together, we get ...
Average rate of change is just the slope between the 2 points
we can do this the long way or the smart way
long way, find the 2 points and find the slope between them
when x=-5, f(-5)=-2(-5)+1=10+1=11
when x=1, f(1)=-2(1)+1=-2+1=-1
so the points are (-5,11) and (1,-1)
the slope between them is (-1-11)/(1-(-5))=(-12)/(1+5)=-12/6=-2
the answer is B, -2
smart way
recognize that that is a linear equation and the slope between any 2 points will be the m in y=mx+b
f(x)=-2x+1
the slope is -2
the average rate of change is -2
answer is B. -2
