1. Allison’s middle school team has designed t-shirts containing their team name and color. Allison and her friend Nicole have volunteered to call local stores to get an estimate on the total cost of purchasing t-shirts. Print-o-Rama charges a set-up fee, as well as a fixed amount for each shirt ordered. The total cost is shown below for the given number of shirts. Value T’s and More charges $8 per shirt. Which company should they use? a. Does either pricing model represent a proportional relationship between the quantity of t-shirts and the total cost? Explain.

b. What is the constant of proportionality of Value T’s and More? What does it represent?

c. How much is Print-o-Rama’s set-up fee?

d. If you need to purchase 90 shirts, write a proposal to your teacher indicating which company the team should use. Be sure to support your choice. Determine the number of shirts that you need for your team.

the numbers are missing here, so I looked for a similar question:

Print-O-Rama

# shirts    total  cost

10                $95

50             $375  

a. Does either pricing model represent a proportional relationship between the quantity of t-shirts and the total cost? Explain.

Value T’s and More offers a proportional relationship since each t-shirt costs $8 regardless of the number of t-shirts

b. What is the constant of proportionality of Value T’s and More? What does it represent?

$8 per t-shirt

f(c) = $8t

the function of total cost = $8 times the number of t-shirts ordered

c. How much is Print-o-Rama’s set-up fee?

using the high-low method

variable cost = ($375 - $95) / /50 - 10) = $7 per t-shirt

fixed cost (set-up fee) = $375 - (50 x $7) = $25

d. If you need to purchase 90 shirts, write a proposal to your teacher indicating which company the team should use. Be sure to support your choice. Determine the number of shirts that you need for your team.

purchasing 90 t-shirts at Print-o-Rama costs = $25 + (90 x $7) = $655

purchasing 90 t-shirts at Value T’s and More costs = 90 x $8 = $720

you should purchase the t-shirts at Print-o-Rama since the cost is lower.

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
