Jimmy is selling used books at a yard sale. A customer buys 9 books at a cost of $0.75 each and pays with a $20.00 bill. Jimmy must determine c, the amount of change in dollars he should give the customer. Which equation represents c?

c = $20.00 - $0.75(9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the cost of each book by the total number of books. Then, subject that from 20.

step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
