The graph below represents the price of sending picture messages using the services of a phone company. What is the constant of proportionality? A graph is shown. The values on the x axis are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The values on the y axis are 0, 22, 44, 66, 88, 110, 132, 154, 176, 198, 220. Points are shown on ordered pairs 0, 0 and 2, 44 and 4, 88 and 6, 132 and 8, 176. These points are connected by a line. The label on the x axis is Picture Messages Sent. The label on the y axis is Price in cents. 10 11 21 22

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think its about 8

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
