Excuse me but his answer is incorrect. To find the proper rate of change you might have to solve it like you would for slope.
First you would find the points for x = 3 and x = 15 would be (3, 0.08) and (15, 327.68). Then using the slope formula you can find 327.60/ 12. That gives 27.3. So in that case the correct answer is C.
Answer:
C) Maria bought a magazine for $8 and 2 notebooks. She spent a total of $15. What was the cost of each notebook?
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation has twice an unknown value added to 8 with the result being 15.
<em>Here are how the answer choices compare to the equation:</em>
A) only one magazine of unknown cost is involved, not two. There is not enough information to answer this question with any equation.
B) three unknowns are involved and the question asks for the difference of their sum and 15. There is not enough information to answer this question with any equation.
C) if x represents the cost of the notebook, the equation is appropropriate to finding its cost, as asked by the question. This is the best choice.
D) only one unknown. The question makes no sense, as she bought items worth more than the amount paid.
Answer:
x is EQUIVALENT to 2.89
Step-by-step explanation:
The spinner is a circle and the three sectors are congruent with means that each sector has the same area. The formula for the area of a sector is\
A = (1/2) r² θ
We are given with
r = 3 in
θ = 120°
Converting degrees to radians
θ = 120° (π/180°)
θ = 2π/3
Solving for the area
A = (1/2) (3)² (2π/3)
A = 3π ≈ 9.24 in²
