Mr. Smith has an apple orchard. He hires his daughter, Lucy, to pick apples and offers her two payment options: Option A: $. per bushel of apples picked Option B: cent for picking one bushel, cents for picking two bushels, cents for picking three bushels, and so on, with the amount of money tripling for each additional bushel picked A. Write a function to model each option. B. How many bushels of apples does Lucy need to pick to make Option B better for her than Option A?

Step-by-step explanation:

he has 8 bushes

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
