The table shows the cost of renting bowling shoes. number of pairs of shoes cost 1 $2.50 2 $5.00 3 $7.50 4 $10.00 5 $12.50 what does the rate of change mean in this situation? the cost increases $10.00 for every additional pair of shoes rented. the cost increases $5.00 for every additional pair of shoes rented. the cost increases $7.50 for every additional pair of shoes rented. the cost increases $2.50 for every additional pair of shoes rented.

The cost increases $2.50 for every additional pair of shoes rented.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of Pairs of Shoes (x): 1       2             3              4           5

                    Cost            C(x)        :       $2.50  $5.00  $7.50     $10.00  $12.50

Let C(x) be the cost function for the given situation

Thus the rate of change of the function from x=1 to x=5=

Similarly , we can check for every interval the rate of change in price= $2.50

Thus, we can say "The cost increases $2.50 for every additional pair of shoes rented."

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
