Answer
Find out the how many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .
To proof
let us assume that the pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore be x .
As given
In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal.
ore weight = 1,950 lb
9.8% is written in the decimal form

= 0.098
Than the equation becomes
x = 0.098 × 1950
x = 191.1 pounds
Therefore the 191.1 pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .
Hence proved
Step-by-step explanation:
fg(x) =

Answer:
From -2<x<-1, the function F(X) is increasing. (B)
Really, it increases all from around -2.5<x<0.5
C is also the second answer, as it increases til around 2.5
It is decreasing from -4<x<-3. But increases right after. It then starts to slow down around x = 1 and go down again.
Which means (B) is your answer.
If you want to get fancy, its a polynomial and if you take the derivative for instantaneous rate, you will see f prime is increasing if you make an example function.

2543 x 12 = 30,516
