Costco is selling a 5 lb. bag of apples for $5.50. Stater Bros. is
selling a 4 lb. bag of apples for
$4.48. What is the unit rate, in
$/lb., of the store that is selling
apples for a better deal?

HELP PLEAS

the answer is 15% decrease

the first one is x^2+2x+2

the second one is x^2+4

the last one is x^2-4x+8

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
