Answer: Transitive Postulate of Inequality (last option)
Explanation:
Let's say we have a vacation where we go from City A, to City B, then to City C. We can use the notation 
. If all we cared about was the first and last cities, then we basically say 
taking a shortcut so to speak.
This analogy is useful to describe the transitive property.
The equality version is where if we had a = b and b = c, then a = c.
The inequality version is where if we had a < b and b < c, then a < c. In this case, c = 2.
In a sense, its like linking together metal chains. A leads to B which leads to C. So we can just jump from A to C.
It might help to draw out a number line and pick values for a and b like a = 0 and b = 1. That way you can see how a < b, b < c and a < c all tie together.
Answer:
A parabola has the form:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
Where a is the leading coefficient.
If a is positive, the parabola opens up.
If a is negative, the parabola opens down.
a is the factor that multiplies the part that grows the fastest in the equation, thus, if a is a larger value (in absolute value) then the parabola will grow faster (then the parabola will be narrow)
if a is smaller (again, in absolute value) the parabola will grow slower, then the parabola will be wider.
With this, we can conclude that:
a = -4
is the largest value of a in absolute value.
Then this corresponds to the thinner parabola (the one at the left)
a = -1
Is the middle value of a, then this corresponds to the graph of the middle
a = -0.25
Is the smallest absolute value of a, then this one corresponds to the widest graph (the first one at the left)
Answer:
<em>Part A: </em>
<em>c = 1.15p</em>
<em>c(2) = $2.30</em>
<em>Part B: </em>
<em>c = 0.90p</em>
Part B:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Models</u>
Candy's Sweets Company charges $1.15 per pound to ship candy. This represents a proportional relationship between the pounds of candy and the cost.
Part A: If each pound costs $1.15, then p pounds cost $1.15p. Then the equation of the cost c is:
c = 1.15p
The cost of shipping p=2 pounds of candy is:
c = 1.15*2 = 2.30
c = $2.30
Part B: When the company reduces the cost by $0.25 per pound, the new unit cost is $1.15 - $0.25 = $0.90 per pound.
The new equation to determine the total cost for p pounds of candy is:
c = 0.90p
