<h3>
Answer: D) -3</h3>
Explanation:
Recall that y = f(x) since both are outputs of a function.
If k = 2, then f(x) = 2 leads to y = 2 being a horizontal line drawn through 2 on the y axis. This horizontal line only crosses the cubic curve at one spot. The same can be said if k = 0 and k = -2. So we can rule out choices A,B,C.
On the other hand, if k = -3, then f(x) = -3 has three different solutions. This is because the horizontal line through -3 on the y axis crosses the cubic at 3 different intersection points.
Treat this as an ordinary linear equation. Try to isolate x, as some value. Also remember the basic rules of inequalities: If you're dividing, or multiplying, by a negative, you flip the inequality.
Answer:
The owner will have to pay $ 125 after 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the line graph shows the amount of water loss in a leaking tank during 7 hours, and the owner pays $ 1 for every 8 liters of water lost, to determine how much will he have to pay after 2 hours the following calculation must be performed :
((6000 - 5000) / 8) x 1 = X
(1000/8) x 1 = X
125 x 1 = X
125 = X
Therefore, the owner will have to pay $ 125 after 2 hours.
