Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This question asks you to compare the coordinates of the vertex of each function.
__
The vertex of the function is its minimum, the point where the graph stops decreasing and starts increasing. It is the lowest point on the graph.
<h3>f(x)</h3>
The vertex is (-4, -1). The minimum is -1, located at x = -4.
<h3>g(x)</h3>
The vertex is (1, -25). The minimum is -25, located at x = 1. We know this is the minimum because there are no g(x) values that are lower (more negative).
<h3>comparison</h3>
The minimum of f(x), -1, is greater than the minimum of g(x), -25. TRUE
The x-value of f(x) at its minimum, -4, is less than the x-value of g(x) at its minimum, 1. TRUE
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.
I believe it's C.
(Hint: y=mx+b)
M is Slope and B is Y-Intercept.
You can multiply the equation in any order.
