Answer:

<h2><u>#1: </u></h2>

The point (4,3) means that 4 lbs. of potatoes = $3. Therefore, we have:  

4 lbs / $3  = 1lb / x     = cross-multiply  

4x = 3   =  divide by 4  

x = 3/4 dollars = $.75 per pound

----------------------------------------------------  

<h2><u>#2: </u></h2>

The point (8,6) means that 8 lbs. of potatoes = $6.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A proportional relationship between the number of pounds of potatoes (x) and the price in dollars (y) is graphed, and the ordered pair (4, 3) is on the graphed line. Part A: What is the price of 1 pound of potatoes? Show your work, including the proportion you used to determine the price. (8 points) Part B: What does the ordered pair (8, 6) on the graph represent? Explain in words. (2 points)

 

The point (4,3) means that 4 lbs. of potatoes = $3. Therefore, we have:

4 lbs / $3  = 1lb / x       cross-multiply

4x = 3      divide by 4

x = 3/4 dollars = $.75 per pound

 

The point (8,6) means that 8 lbs. of potatoes = $6.

  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Functions
  • Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

f(x) = 3x - 3

g(x) = 3x³ + 5

f(-3) is <em>x</em> = -3 for function f(x)

g(-2) is <em>x</em> = -2 for function g(x)

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

f(-3)

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function f(x)]:                                                                           f(-3) = 3(-3) - 3
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                             f(-3) = -9 - 3
  3. Subtract:                                                                                                            f(-3) = -12

g(-2)

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function g(x)]:                                                                         g(-2) = 3(-2)³ + 5
  2. Exponents:                                                                                                        g(-2) = 3(-8) + 5
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                            g(-2) = -24 + 5
  4. Add:                                                                                                                   g(-2) = -19

Line segment EF has a lenth if 5 units. It is translated 5 units to the right on a coordinate plane to obtain line segment E'F'.
vivado [14]

Translation does not affect length.

So the length of E'F' is 5 units.
