Answer:
The answer is shown in the pic.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost model will have a fixed cost of $26.30 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 lb and variable cost of $4.00/lb for x > 1.
As seen on the pic, the graph will be that of the greatest integer function that is vertically stretched by a factor 4.00 & shifted 26.30 units upward.
I believe it is that you multiply
(z-8) (z+2)
What I do to factor is find _x_=-16 and _+_=-6. -8x2=-16 and -8+2=-16. The coordinates for z if you were to graph this would be (8,0) and (-2,0)
The answer is...95/3...or 31.67
