Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

pounds
This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.
Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.
Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.
Answer: It's slope is zero
Step-by-step explanation:
We can model this situation as a system of linear equation, where n is the number of nickels and q is the number of quarters.

Solving the system of equations, there are 67 nickels and 19 quarters.
Part 1
Rule of thumb for month rent: Rent ≤ 28% of monthly gross income
Then,
Month gross income = $62,112/12 = $5,176
Affordable rent = 0.28*5176 = $1,449.28
Rounding to nearest dollar;
Affordable rent = $1,449.
The correct answer is C.
Part 2
Monthly rent = $1240
Security deposit = 80% of rent = 0.8*1240 = $992
Amount to be paid = 1240*2 + 992 = $3472
The correct answer is B.
