Answer:
The square root of x will be evaluated first before the addition of 5. Hence (-3)^2 = 9 and 9 +5 = 14, as per your teacher's answer, which is correct. The answer would not be -4.
For this case we must find the unit cost (dollars per pound) of each site and then compare.
We take into account that:
1kg equals 2.205 pounds
So, we have:
Site 1:
Site 2:
So, the unit cost is:
Thus, the best deal is on site 2.
ANswer:
The best deal is on site 2.
Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].
-9-(-12)/-15-(-24)
3/9
1/3
Find the y-intercept using the formula [ y = mx + b ].
y = 1/3x + b
-12 = 1/3(-24) + b
-12 = -8 + b
-4 = b
Use (18, 2) to see if the line passes through it
y = 1/3x - 4
2 = 1/3(18) - 4
2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 TRUE
Thus, the line does pass through (18, 2).
Best of Luck!
The answer is C. 64 teachers.
14 x 64= 896
so 1 x 64= 64
