At a grocery store, the price of a watermelon is determined by how many pounds the watermelon weighs. The price of a watermelon

that weighs 7.3 pounds is $4.38. ​ Write an equation that can be used to determine the price, p, in dollars, of any watermelon based on the number of pounds, w, the watermelon weighs. Explain the process you used to determine the equation. ​

Answer:

p=0.60w

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars

w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds

In this problem we have a proportional relationship

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem

p=kw

The value of the constant of proportionality k is the same that the unit rate

Find out the unit rate

Divide the total cost by the total weight

k=\frac{4.38}{7.3}=\$0.60\ per\ pound

substitute in the equation

p=0.60w

Drag each shape to the correct location on the image. Not all shapes will be used. Complete each shape with the missing half so
Sav [38]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to draw the needed shape in the box, then locate it among the answer choices. Use the identifying features such as dot location and direction of arrow (or tail).

__

Left-to-right, this is what you're trying to match:

  1. tail on the right, dot in the tail
  2. tail on the left, dot in the fin
  3. tail on the right, dot in the nose
  4. tail on the left, dot in the center

Evaluate the function g(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 5 for the input values -2, 0, and 3.
Roman55 [17]

Evaluate the function

g(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 5 for the input values -2, 0, and 3.

This is tedious math work but necessary to sharpen your skills.

Let x = -2

g(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 3(-2) – 5

g(-2) = 2(4) - 6 - 5

g(-2) = 8 - 11

g(-2) = -3

Now let x = 0 and repeat the process.

g(0) = 2(0)^2 + 3(0) - 5

g(0) = 0 + 0 - 5

g(0) = -5

Lastly, let x = 3.

g(3) = 2(3)^2 + 3(3) - 5

g(3) = 2(9) + 9 - 5

g(3) = 18 + 9 - 5

g(3) = 27 - 5

g(3) = 22

Did you follow through each step?
