Line is the answer. Cheers mate
The answer is -8
I found my answer by using desmos. It is the best app for graphing. I wrote the equation and then I looked for the point 18 on the y axis and then I looked where it was on the x axis
that is how I found my answer.
Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.
The first thing we are going to do to find the total cost of the meal before tax:
Total cost before tax = $8.99 + 2($14.99) + $12.99 + 3($1.99)
Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97
Total cost before tax = $57.93
Regarding the 15% gratuity, remember that the unofficial rule for tipping at restaurants is to tip according to the actual value of the meal and not the tax, so we calculate the value of the tip first, and then we add it to the total at the end of our calculations.
Tip = 15%($57.93) = $8.69
Now, lets calculate the tax
Tax = 7.5%($57.93) = $4.34
Finally, we can calculate the total cost of the meal
Total cost = cost before tax + tip + tax
Total cost = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96
We can conclude that the correct answer is a. $70.96
