Answer:

$2.07 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

we can rewrite 2 2/3 as 8/3

now we can create a proportion from cost to pounds of rice

5.52 is to 8/3 pounds as 'c' is to 1:

(5.52 ÷ 8/3) = c/1

cross-multiply to get:

8/3c = 5.52

multiply each side by 3/8 to get:

c = 5.52(3/8)

c = 2.07

You have to know that the graph of the arctangent function is a flat S-shaped curve that goes through (0, 0) and has asymptotes at ±π/2. The factor of 2 that multiplies it here expands it vertically so the asymptotes are at ±π. The +3 added to the x causes it to be shifted to the left by 3 units.
