To find K, we must use the fact that
on the day 200 books were printed
the average cost was $ 9 per book.
Thus, substituting the values, we have:
c (x) = (5.5x + k) / (x)
9 = (5.5 (200) + k) / (200)
Clearing K
(200) * 9 = 5.5 (200) + k
k = (200) * 9 - 5.5 * (200)
k = 700
answer
the value of the constant k is 700
Yes, the added zeros are significant. Lets say you are converting 1.23 x 10 to the power of 4. The answer would be 12,300 in which case, if you took away the zeros, the number would be 123, which is an incorrect answer.
Hope this makes sense and helps!

Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).
The formula of a slope:
Substitute:
If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:
Substitute:
We have the equation:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>add 2 to both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>
