The height of the triangle is 48/b or 48 over b. That's all I can tell you with the information given.
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Imagine that this curve is a roller coaster. A dot on the roller coaster would be a car for a person to sit in, so to speak. As this car moves to the right, the car ultimately moves downward. So this means that as x gets larger, y gets smaller. Put another way: as x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
Similarly, we can move the other way to work our way to the left. Moving to the left has us go up this time. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity
These two facts point to choice B as the final answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Insert the given x values for the given equation to find the corresponding y coordinate:
Insert -6:
Simplify multiplication (when multiplying a negative and a positive, the result will always be negative):
Simplify (when subtracting from a negative number, add the values, but keep the negative symbol):
Insert -1:
Insert 1:
:Done
