OpenStudy (triciaal):

when there is "no week"

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

week pears 6 32 7 37 8 42 9 47

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

The function representing Carl's pears per week is f(w) = 5w + 2. What does the 2 represent? The week number when Carl recorded the pears The number of pears at the start The number of pears Carl had in total The number the pears increased by each week

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I don't really know... all I know is that when you plug in the week like 5(6)+2 does equal 32 which if you keep going, the chart isproved to be correct but im not sure what the 2 exactly means

OpenStudy (triciaal):

see above "no week" is the greatest clue I could give without the answer when w = 0 it means the start before he started checking

OpenStudy (triciaal):

remember y = mx + b where b is the intercept when x = 0 same principle

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

is it a ?

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):
