f(x)/x represents the average cost of producing 1 kilogram of the chemical when x kilograms are made. This problem asks you to visualize these averages graphically. We can represent f(4)/4 as the slope of a line. Through what points does this line extend? ( ?, ? ) and ( ?, ? )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all we know is the slope of the line. obviously it costs 0 to produce 0 kilos. so it passes through the origin. we can't say what else it passes through.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one of the points is (0,0) the problem is the next point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is not enough information to determine the other point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i know so far is that the other point is (4.?) that is my problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could say it passes through (4,f(4))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the two points are (0,0) and (4, f(4) )
