Answer:

6 containers needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 12\frac{1}{2}\ lb ----- Size

Container = 2\frac{1}{4}\ lb ----- Size

Required

Determine the number of containers needed

This question illustrates the knowledge of fraction and division.

To get the number of containers needed, we simply divide the total size by the size of the container as follows;

Number = Total/Container

Number = 12\frac{1}{2}/2\frac{1}{4}

Convert to improper fractions

Number = \frac{25}{2}/\frac{9}{4}

Number = \frac{25}{2}*\frac{4}{9}

Number = \frac{100}{18}

Number = 5.5555556

Number = 6 --- Approximated

Answer:

U shaped.

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 0 , f(x) = 6

when x =1 yf(x) = 0

when x = 2 f(x) = -2

x = 3 f(x) = 0

x = 4 f(x) = 6.

So the graphs falls from the left and rises to the right in the form of a U.

You can draw a rough graph to confirm this.
