An equation representing lyle’s hedge-trimming business is a = 12n - 300 where a is the amount of profit or loss in dollars and n is the number of hedges trimmed. how would the graph of lyle’s business change if the equation a = 10n - 300 represented his business? the graph would be flatter. the graph would be steeper. the graph would start closer to the origin. the graph would start lower on the y-axis.

The function a represents the cost of manufacturing product a, in hundreds of dollars, and the function b represents the cost of manufacturing product b, in hundreds of dollars. a(t) = 5t + 2 b(t) = 7t - 2t +4 find the expression that describes the total cost of manufacturing both products, a(t) + b(t). a. 7t^2 - 7t + 2 b. 7t^2 + 3 +6 c. 7t^2 + 7t - 6 d. 7t^2 - 3t + 6
