Answer:
ascending order when they are arranged from the smallest to the largest number
Run and nug is the answer
Let x be the months and y be the cost.
Rate of increase of commodity A = 6/3 = $2 per month
Equation:
y = 2x + 4500
Rate of increase of commodity B = 2/4 = $0.5 per month
Equation:
y = 0.5x + 5400
Equating the costs,
2x + 4500 = 0.5x + 5400
1.5x = 900
x = 600 months
x = 600 / 12 = 50 years
Yintercepts are where x=0
set to zero to solve
0^2+4y^2=16
4y^2=16
divide 4
y^2=4
sqrt both sides
y=+/-2
xintercept is where y=0
x^2+4(0)^2=16
x^2+0=16
x^2=16
sdqrtboth sides
x=+/-4
yintercepts are (0,2) and (0,-2)
xintercepts are (4,0) and (-4,0)
