Answer:
1. 0.75 cups or 3/4 cups
2. 0.75 cups or 3/4 cups
3. 10 quarts in 2 1/2 gallons
4. 3 3/4 or 3.75
5. 3/4 gallon
6. 2.5 sticks or 2 1/2 sticks
7. 1 3/5 pounds
8. 12 teaspoons
9. 12.5 or 25/2 I think
The answer to that is -24a - 6
Since the question only asks for bagels, put the cream-cheese idea aside.
The total spent has to be less than $7 so an equation can be this: $0.75x<$7 where x is the number of bagels
You get vertical asymptotes because the x-value causes you to try to divide by 0.
If you look at the denominator, the x-values of 0, 1, and -5 all will make the denominator equal to 0, making the whole function explode.
You find these by solving 3x(x-1)(x+5)=0.
That's your answer: 0, 1, and -5
