Answer:
(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.
Part A:
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.
The formula to compute the slope is:

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)
Compute the slope of the line as follows:


Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
Part B:
The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:
Number of Bushels Price
2 10
4 20
6 30
8 40
Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:
Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)


The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.
Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Because this is a triangle and we know that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse we just plug in the numbers. But because you have the hypotenuse already you will subtract the leg from the hypotenuse.
A^2+B^2=C^
16^2+B^2=20^2
256+B^2=400 subtract 256 from both sides
B^2=144 now take the square root of both sides
B=12
The second leg is 12 cm long. Your answer is B, the second answer.
=(-4/5)^2 * -3/50
square -4/5 first; remember -4/5^2 is the same as -4/5 * -4/5
=(-4/5 * -4/5) * -3/50
multiply -4 numerators; multiply 5 denominators
=(-4 * -4)/(5 * 5) * -3/50
=16/25 * -3/50
multiply numerators 16 & -3; multiply denominators 25 & 50
=(16 * -3)/(25 * 50)
= -48/1250
simplify by 2
= -24/625 (or -0.0384)
ANSWER: -24/625 (or -0.0384)
Hope this helps! :)
