Using cross multiplication
(x-4)(x+2)=0
x-4=0
x+2=0
Thus x=4,-2
Answer:
The average rate will be 2.40 dollars per kg.
Hence, option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the table, it is clear that the order size is located on the x-axis and the price is located on the y-axis.
The price of 100 kg cumin = $450
The price of 600 kg cumin = $1650
so
at x₁ = 100, f(x₁) = 450
at x₂ = 600, f(x₂) = 1650
Using the formula to determine the average rate of change at which the total cost increases will be:
Average rate = [f(x₂) - f(x₁)] / [ x₂ - x₁]
= [1650 - 450] / [600-100]
= 1200 / 500
= 2.4
Therefore, the average rate will be 2.40 dollars per kg.
Hence, option D is correct.
