Answer: y = 0.03x + 94

--------------------------------------

Explanation:

Lets define A(x) to be the average cost function where 
A(x) = C(x)/x
basically you divide the given cost function C(x) by the number of units produced (x)

Dividing C(x) over x leads to:
A(x) = C(x)/x
A(x) = (14000+94x+0.03x^2)/x ... substitution
A(x) = (0.03x^2+94x+14000)/x ... rearrange terms
A(x) = (0.03x^2)/x+(94x)/x+(14000)/x ... break up the fraction
A(x) = 0.03x + 94 + (14000/x) ... simplify

If x were to head off to infinity, then the portion 14000/x approaches 0. 

So this is why the oblique asymptote is y = 0.03x + 94

Basically, in the long run, the average cost will approach y = 0.03x + 94

Serga [27]

I'd say the answer to the first question is D) 0 to 4 with intervals of 0.2.

Because, you can't just have 1 to 4, as some of the numbers are less than 1.  Of course you can't have 2 to 5 either. And intervals of 2 would be too messy.

For the second question:

I believe the answer is A. Because it's obvious that there IS one outlier, and it looks like there are two clusters.

So, the answers are: A) and D).

Savatey [412]
At first shop the 3 liters of milk cost 2995
cost per liter = cost / volume
cost per liter = 2995 / 3 L
cost per liter = 998 per liter of milk

at second shop the two liters of milk cost 1595
 cost per liter = cost / volume
cost per liter = 1595 / 2 L
cost per liter = 797.5 per liter of milk

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr
Cloud [144]
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and  y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.
