end behavior is affect by the exponent and whether its negative or positive
y = y^3 starts negative from -∞ to 0 the from 0 to +∞ goes positive
since this equation is negative its switched
-∞ to 0 its positive x>0
0 to +∞ is negative x<0
A. x=the cost of one lunch. 60.25=5x+3(x-5.25)
b. 60.25=5x+3x-15.75 60.25+15.75=8x-15.75+15.75
76=8x 76/8=8x/8 9.50=x
A lunch is $9.50. If you are not sure, check my answers. Hope this helped.
