Complete question :

The Quick Ship company uses the function C(w) to calculate the cost in dollars, C, for shipping an item weighing w ounces. C(w) 0.45w 0.35w + 1.6 if 0 < W 16 Which statement about the shipping rate is true?

A.it is possible that an item weighing less then 16 ounces could cost the same as an item weighing more than 16 ounces

B. to find the charge for shipping a package weighing more than 16 ounces, multiply the weight by $.035.

C. Shipping at the second rate will always cost $1.60 more than shipping at the first rate

D. if the weight is greater than 16 ounces,the shipping rate is $.0.35 per ounce, plus $1.60

Answer:

C. Shipping at the second rate will always cost $1.60 more than shipping at the first rate

Step-by-step explanation:

The shipping rates are :

C(w) = 0.45w

Second rate :

C(w) = 0.35w + 1.6

For the first shipping rate, it only has a rate of change value which varies based on the weight of item to be shipped, C(w) = 0.45w.

However, the second shipping rate includes a fixed rate and rate based on the weight of item. This fixed rate implies that regardless of the weight of item to be shipped, a fixed fee is charged which is $1.60. This means that the shipping fee at the secind rate will always be $1.60 greater than thebfirst shipping rate.

xenn [34]

Answer:

4·6 = 24 ≠ 12 = LCM(4, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Any pair of numbers with a common factor will refute Sarah's conjecture.

One such pair is 4 and 6, which have a product of 24. The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12, which is that product divided by their common factor of 2.

$\sqrt{x} 3$ is a irrational number; whatever you do to a irrational number except subtract itself or divide by itself or a multiple of itself will always result in another irrational number.
