Answer:   c(w)  = 0.80 w       and  the cost of 5 ounces is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we can simply use proportionality

from the question,

$0.80    =     1   ounce

c(w)         =     w

cross multiply

c(w)   =  $0.80 w

Therefore a function rule that represents  the  cost c(w)   is $0.80 w

For the second part of the question, we are to find the cost of an envelope that weighs 5 ounce

we have different way of doing this, the first of which is to just use our function rule;

c(w)   =  $0.80 w

we substitute w=  5 into the function. Hence;

c(5)   =   $0.80 × 5   =   $4

OR

We can use a longer method;

let x = the cost of 5 ounces

$0.80   =   1   ounce

  x         =    5 ounces

cross multi[ply

x =   $0.80   ×   5  =    $4

Therefore, the  cost of mailing an envelope that weighs 5 ounces is $4.

$0.80 per ounce.

for w ounces, cost will be:  0.80*w = 0.80w

Therefore c(w) = 0.80w

The cost for 5 ounces = 0.80*5 = 4.00

Cost for 5 ounces = $4.00

Hope this helps.

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at ( 7, 2) and a directrix at y = -2<br> y = ?
horrorfan [7]
A parabola with an equation, y2 = 4ax has its vertex at the origin and opens to the right.
It's not just the '4' that is important, it's '4a' that matters.
This type of parabola has a directrix at x = -a, and a focus at (a, 0). By writing the equation as it is, the position of the directrix and focus are readily identifiable.
For example, y2 = 2.4x doesn't say a great deal. Re-writing the equation of the parabola as y2 = 4*(0.6)x tells us immediately that the directrix is at x = -0.6 and the focus is at (0.6, 0)
