Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete y2 - y1 over x2 - x1 with your given points:
-2 - 5 = -7
_____ ____
3 - (-4) = 7
= ⁻⁷⁄₇ = -1 Simplify to lowest term
Each of the answers given at the right talks about the fourth month. So let's compare each of the fourth month's profits.
When the month t = 4 in Company B, the company made 10 hundred (or 1000) dollars in profits.
When the month t = 4 in Company A, we evaluate the function at t = 4. To do that we put t = 4 into the function.
P(4) = 1.8(1.4)⁴
P(4) = 6.91488
Thus the company made 691.488 dollars of profit. So during the 4th month, Company B made more than A.
Each of the answers also talks about year end profits, which would be after 12 months. The function for company B is linear whereas it is exponential for A. An exponential function will grow faster in A and have higher maximum values. We can conclude that year end profits for A will be higher.
We put the statements together - that B makes in the 4th month but at year's end A will make more.
Thus, the third box is the best answer.
Answer:
They caught: 11/12 pounds of fish
Explanation:
First, you need to change them to the same common denominator. Since 3 and 6 already go into 12, you just have to change 1/3 and 1/6 to a denominator with 12.
First, you need to change 1/3 to 4/12. By doing that, you do 1/3x4/4=4/12.
You then have to change 1/6 to 2/12. By doing that, you do 1/6x2/2=2/12.
Then you just add up all the fractions and simplify 4/12+2/12+5/12=11/12.
You can't simplify 11/12 any further so your answer would be:
They caught 11/12 pounds of fish in total.
