Which graph represents viable values for y = 2x, where x is the number of pounds of rice scooped and purchased from a bulk bin at the grocery store and y is the total cost of the rice?

we know that

is function

so, our graph should be of function

Here, x is the number of pounds rice scooped and purchased from a bulk bin at the grocery store

y is the total cost of the rice

Since, x is the number of pounds rice scooped and purchased from a bulk bin at the grocery store

it means x is a number like 0 , 1, 2, 3

so, graph will be discrete in nature and it always starts from 0

so, we can see that

only second graph shows this relation

Hence, graph-B............Answer

The is correct match for the graph of the total cost function .

Further explanation:

Given:

The function of the graph is as follows:

Here, is the number of pounds of rise and is total cost of rise.

Calculation:

Since, is the number of pound rice scooped and purchased from a bulk bin at the grocery store.

It means be a whole number like and so on.

Therefore, the graph of the total cost function is a discrete function in nature.

The graph of the total cost function  is not valid for the negative value of .

The graph will be passing from the following discrete point shown in table 1.

The graph of the function is shown below in figure 1.

Thus, the is correct match for the graph of the total cost function .
