Answer:
To find the cost per yard, divide the cost by the amount:
p: 6.25 / 6.5 = 0.96 --> The cost per yard is $0.96
r: 3 /4 = 0.75 --> The cost per yard is $0.75
b: 8.1 /8.5 = 0.95 --> The cost per yard is $0.95
s: 7.2 / 6 = 1.2 --> The cost per yard is $1.20
In order from cheapest to most expensive:
Red
Brown
Purple
Silver
Answer
Good question!
A. false. Even though 5 is usually greater than 2, in this case it is less because it is negative and positives are always greater than negatives.
B. true. Just like the last question, positives are always greater than negatives and even though 8 is usually greater than 3, in this case the 3 is a negative so it is less.
C. true. Think about which number is closer to the number line. When we are talking about negative numbers, the number closer to the number line is greater.
D. false. Same concept as the last question where -12 is closer to the number line than -12.5 so -12 is actually greater.
If you have any additional questions feel free to ask me or your teacher so you can really master what you're learning. :)
Answer:
A linear function is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
An exponential equation is written as:
y = A*(r)^x
Where A is the initial quantity and r is the rate of growth.
If a and A are both positives, the similar characteristic of both types of functions is that as x increases, then the value of y will also increase. Then both functions are increasing functions.
They are different in how they increase, while a linear function increases at a constant rate, an exponential function increases slow at the beginning and really fast as x increases, as you can see in the image below where we compare the two types of functions, the green one is the linear function, and the blue one is the exponential function.
