% means per 100
so when figuring out percents it's good to use 100
so
on $100 7% would mean $7
on $50 7% would mean $3.5
in $200 7% would mean $14
a) The tangent to
at
has slope

and
at this point. It passes through the origin, so its equation is

It also passes through the point
on the curve, so

By substitution,

b) The normal to
at
has slope

It follows that

c) The tangent line equation is then

Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
25% as a decimal is 0.25
and 0.3 as a percentage is 30%
The variable x is the weight of the letter and they subtract 1 from that, so adding the 0.50 at the end of the equation would be the cost for a one ounce letter.
The answer is:
A) The cost, in dollars, to mail a one ounce letter
