You will use trig. Try the phrase “SohCahToa” you will use “Soh” meaning Sin is opposite over hypotenuse. So in this instance, it would be sin(x)=8/11. You will need to take the inverse sine to figure out x. So, x= sin^-1(8/11) which turns out to be approximately 46.65°
Since 3lb pears is $3.87 lets say that every 1lb of pears costs $1.30.
say if you were to buy 2lb on-top of the 3lb it would cost $2.60 extra, causing the total price to be around $6.50 (rounded up)
so since 5lb is $6.65, i believe that the 3lb of pears is the better buy.
Answer: y= 2 • (1/3)^x-2 -2
hope this helps!
