Respuesta :

Answer:

1: 1.5 would be 1.72 and 2 would also be 1.72.

2: Draw points at (0,1.15) (1, 1.72) (2, 2.29) (3, 2.86) Flatline Connections

Step-by-step explanation:

If Im reading it right you take 1.5 ounces and plug it into the function (it would be between 1 and 2) it would spit out 1.72 (which I'm assuming is the postage)

It will cost

(i) $1.72 if weight is 1.5 ounces,to send a letter.

(ii)$1.72 if weight is 2 ounces, to send a letter.

first, let us find a relation between postage(dollars) and weight(ounces)

this is an equation of a straight line passing through (0,1.5) and (2,0).

y=mx+c

[tex]P(w)=\frac{1.5-0}{0-2} x + c\\\\P(w)=-0.75x+c\\\\[/tex]

since it passes through (2,0) it will satisfy the equation

therefore, c =1.5

the equation will be: [tex]P(w)=-0.75w+1.5[/tex]

after we merge both the relations, we find a single relation between cost and weight

since the cost value is 1.72 in 1 <w [tex]\leq[/tex]2

if weight is 1.5 ounces it is clearly $1.72

if weight is 2 ounces it is clearly $1.72

therefore, it will cost

(i) $1.72 if weight is 1.5 ounces,to send a letter.

(ii)$1.72 if weight is 2 ounces, to send a letter.
