Answer:

The value of a is 9 and b is -8
Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find two numbers that add up or subtract off to 1.
Then we also use the same two numbers that multiply and get -72.
Let's see:-
- 9 and -8 seem like correct values.
Because 9+(-8) is 9-8 = 1
And 9(-8) is -72.
Therefore:

The value of a is 9 and the value of b is -8 according to form of (x+a)(x+b)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It c just took the test
No. Let's say we use 10 and 0.38. 1 X 10 is 10, so if anything is lower than 1, it will be lower than 10. Therefore, 0.38 X 10 is 3.8. This is less than the whole number, 10. Hope this is clear enough.
Answer:
y = 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's select two points from the given graph.
(1,3) (3,9)
Now, let's use slope formula to find the slope.
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
= 9-3/3-1
= 6/2
= 3
Let's substitute/plug this value into the slope-intercept form.
y = 3x + b
We can see that the y-intercept is 0, from the graph.
b = 0
Therefore,
y = 3x
Answer:
a. $0.47 per ounce
b. $0.36 per ounce
c. the gallon size costs less per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is a rate that is expressed with one unit in the denominator. That is, it is <some amount> per unit. The <some amount> value will generally depend on what unit is chosen. This problem suggests the desired unit is 1 oz of paint.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
Unit cost for a quart:
ratio = cost/ounces = $14.99/(32 oz) ≈ $0.468/oz ≈ $0.47/oz
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Unit cost for a gallon:
ratio = cost/ounces = $45.99/(120 oz) ≈ $0.359/oz ≈ $0.36/oz
__
<h3>c.</h3>
The cost per ounce is less for the gallon size. If at least 3 quarts of paint is needed, then buying it in the gallon size will cost less.
If less than 3 quarts are needed, then a gallon container will cost more than is necessary for the paint required. The "better deal" depends on the amount of paint required.
