QUESTION 1
The price of a bottle of water is $1.50 dollars
If [tex]x[/tex] units are sold, the total cost is [tex]1.50x[/tex]
We can write the total cost as a function of the unit price.
[tex]C(x)=1.5x[/tex]
To graph this function we can choose at least two points.
[tex]\left\begin{array}{ccc}Bottles\:sold&|&Total\:Cost\\0&|&0\\1&|&1.5\\2&|&3\end{array}\right[/tex]
We now plot these points and use it to draw our graph. See attachment.
QUESTION
At a point on the graph we can determine that, for every 6 amount of salt added, 18 amount of tomatoes is also added.
So the unit rate of the number of tomatoes to the number of salt added is
[tex]\frac{18}{6}[/tex]
We express the denominator as one to get the unit rate, so we divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex]
Therefore the unit rate of tomatoes to salt is 3:1 or simply 3.
QUESTION 3
We calculate the rate of relationship B and compare to the rate of the given options,
The graph passes through,
[tex](8,4)[/tex]
and
[tex](4,2)[/tex]
So the rate of this graph is the same as the slope,
[tex]Rate\:of\:A=\frac{4-2}{8-4} =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The rate of B is greater than [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. So we select all the relationships that has a slope greater than [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
These are;
[tex]y=\frac{2}{3}x[/tex], [tex]y=0.6x[/tex] and [tex]y=\frac{3}{4}x[/tex]
QUESTION 4
We again find the rate of relationship B and compare it to the rates in the given options. We choose any two points from the table and use it to find the rate of B.
Let us use,
[tex](2,25)[/tex] and [tex](4,50)[/tex]
[tex]Rate\:of\:B=\frac{50-25}{4-2} =\frac{25}{2}=12.5[/tex]
Since relationship A is greater, we choose all the relationship that has a slope more than 12.5.
These are,
[tex]y=13x[/tex] and [tex]y=12.75x[/tex]
QUESTION 5
Again we find the rate of printer B and compare it to printer A.
Let us use the points, [tex](3,48)[/tex] and [tex](5,80)[/tex]
[tex]Rate\:of\:Printer\:B=\frac{80-48}{5-3} =\frac{32}{2}=16[/tex]
Hence Printer A prints 14 words per minute, while printer B prints 16 words per minute.
Therefore printer B prints faster than printer A.
